This is the most reader-friendly of Fitzgerald's novel. It's a rush of a novel with mostly toned-down renditions of all his idiosyncrasies.
Torrey Gazette is the combined work of everyday Christians blogging on books, family, art, and theology. So pull up a seat and join us. Family Table rules apply. Shouting is totally acceptable.

This is the most reader-friendly of Fitzgerald's novel. It's a rush of a novel with mostly toned-down renditions of all his idiosyncrasies.
There are so many high points that reflect Fitzgerald's unique style that I'm confident I'll return to it soon.
In conclusion, The Beautiful and Damned was not as satisfying as Tender is the Night.
The imperfections only serve to drive the story deeper. I wish I had read this novel twenty years ago.
