jgaudelli 's review for:
The Diamond as Big as the Ritz
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
I am not a fan of The Great Gatsby. Read it twice to make sure I wasn't missing something but no. However, I am simple fascinated by the character that is F. Scott Fitzgerald.
I can't help but enjoy his grandiose universe, full of luxury and possessions.
I really enjoyed The Diamond As Big As The Ritz. Maybe because it was straight-forward and realistic in a sense that John isn't a hero. Not all main characters have to be brave and courageous. Let's face it: he's a coward. A guy that is still in love with the girl after she's basically tells him that he's as good as dead... com'on.
But we all know someone who did the "same" thing and we can't help but to feel for him. Even though I'm definitely not condoning Braddock's practices; we still all end up the same way - dead. They just want to be entertained like anybody else... how can we blame them?!
