A review by megwags000
This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald

4.0

Did you like Gatsby? Read this! Just a warning, it is not a happy book. It begins full of life and wit, but as we watch Amory Blaine grow and interact with the world, we see him and his peers deteriorate into disillusionment. While Gatsby gives a distant account of the reckless behaviors of the roaring twenties, this book gives an up close and personal look at Amory and his faults and failures. This is a touching and emotional story: read it!
