This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald
3.0

I love The Great Gatsby, and Tender is the Night is in my top 5 books of all time. But I had a hard time getting into This Side of Paradise. It could be that Fitzgerald hadn't developed a sophisticated style yet. I didn't really connect with Amory, though parts of his story were fascinating. Mostly he was just a spoiled brat, falling into a slow decline. "Egotist" really is the perfect way to describe him.
