A nice little quick read. I feel like I got it out of a Sunday supplement in the Guardian or something. The style is typical of Fitzgerald with generous helpings of excessive description that takes so long, the reader will lose focus and forget what the point was.
I guess it's Fitzgerald's way of looking at the "formerly wealthy and glamorous" instead of his usual affluent characters. Didn't entertain it for very long though, with the novel weighing in at 70-something pages.
Still, it was a nice little book.
