Tender is the Night was excellent. I read a couple other books by Fitzgerald a long time ago (like in high school). Loved Gatsby, didn't like anything else. Decided to try again, and I'm glad I did. This was really beautiful and sad and lingers in my mind. The main characters were well-drawn (peri ...

Tags: 1930s, fiction, U.S.A.
Rating: ★★★
Read this last month and found I kept postponing the moment I had to review it ...
Started Tender is the night yesterday; excellent atmospherics! It's 'fuller' than The Great Gatsby and I think I'll like this one slightly less; Gatsby was fantastic in its dry minimalism.
15. Tender is the Night --Very slow-going, and I failed entirely to connect emotionally with the characters. F. Scott Fitzgerald is not my favorite.
16. People of the Book--Good, but not as gripping as I'd hoped.
17. The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie--Fabulous, with the most ...
The hotel and it's bright, tan prayer rug of a beach were one.

Sounds like you're enjoying Tender is the Night more than I did then!

Finished Child 44 this morning, which I loved.
Now I've gone for a complete change of pace with Tender is the Night by F Scott Fitzgerald, which I'm deep into already and thoroughly enjoying.
I once found a $20 bill in a copy of Tender is the Night I bought in a ratty old San Francisco thrift store. I've occasionally bought an old book to find a review of that book cut out of a newspaper and inserted within the pages. My copy of They Were Expendable, about the fall of the Philippines ...
If we think about The Beautiful and Damned, Tender Is The Night or Fitzgerald's short stories "The Rich Boy" and "May Day" in particular, there is a valid naturalistic case for truthtelling. I likewise found Raymond Chandler a compelling author for his stark, no frills realism. Yet I abhor ...
