Customer Review: (to the tune of "Alice's Restaurant") ...And friends, somewhere in America enshrined in some little bookstore, is a study in black and white of men's indiscretions and apathy. And the only reason I'm telling you this now is cause you may know somebody in a similar situation, or you may be... more info
Customer Review: Another book from AP English that surprised me. Fitzgerald makes good writing seem easy. This work both critiqued and defined the American '20s.

Customer Review: Always heard about the man and the book but it was difficult trying to follow and understand. Gave up three quarters of the way through. Did learn a little something though.
Customer Review: I find it inexplicable that some of my smartest friends love this book. I only read the first 30 pages of this book. However, this does not make me ineligible for a review.
