This Side of Paradise
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Fitzgerald's characters are bratty and convincing, offering a fair look into the origins of a generation that went on to pioneer big cultural changes in the 1920s. Imagine my surprise when Amory argued in favor of socialism - in jest, or out of frustration with being outcast from his own plane of upper society? I read this book in stops and starts and felt it more of a burden than a joy to chug through it, but I was committed to finish and I did, and I'm a sucker for poetics so it wasn't too bad. All in all, 3 stars as a good but unremarkable book. A pleasant glimpse into F. Scott Fitzgerald's days as a novice.
