i finally finished the stupid thing!
it sucked. i love f scott fitzgerald but this is the worst book of his i’ve read (and i’ve read them all but “the last tycoon”
it was boring to read. it was all over the place.
too lyrical for my taste, but thats just me.
nothing happened! well, there was the decline, but it just wasnt done well!
the only redeeming quality is how it was a little look into fitzgerald’s own life. i noticed it b/c i’ve read two biographies on him, and also some of the critical excerpts in the back said the same.
well, i’ma mark it ‘worth consuming’ b/c fitzgerald is Always worth consuming since i’m such a fan, but that doesnt mean i enjoyed it!

I’ve been working on this book for,,,,,, forever. much longer than usual. and its not that i’m neglecting it really. its that its usually so boring i can only get through a few pages before i want to fall asleep!
and i feel bad for saying that, b/c i’m a big f. scott fitzgerald fan. but that is why i’m continuing to read it, and i wont just quit. i think it will redeem itself. we’ll see!!
