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

5.0

Honestly one of the best books i have ever read. I love Fitzgerald’s style and eloquency, how great he is at creating atmosphere. I am sure I will come back to this book, because i feel like i could notice different aspects every read. I wasnt really a big fan of the characters, which is another reason for the high rating- usually books with unlikable characters are not my favourites as they tend to make me a little annoyed. In „This side of Paradise” that didnt happen at all. This book gripped me from the first 5 pages & made me fall in love with Fitzgerald even more. I throughly enjoyed how the action was shown & how he used different literary genres. This books shows how open and talented as a writer he was. After finishing it I couldnt wait to read his other pieces.
