A review by thewickedwitchofthemidwest
The Beautiful and Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald

3.0

When I first started reading this book my thought was, “interesting writing style, boring story.” When I’m finished I have come to the conclusion this was Fitzgerald’s point. It’s just a life portrait of a couple. In my opinion it’s no great literary work, but it is thought provoking. Watching the lives of the protagonists unfold throughout the story was what kept me interested. It had this blatant honestly which appealed to me and Fitzgerald probes into the inner beings of the characters. You can see how their story will progress from the beginning, but you still feel the tragedy when you come to the end.
