I just finished "A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald" and found the book to be okay. A friend of mine had read the book first, and then when I found out that there was a Prime television show based off of the novel, I wanted to read it. Even though the book is based off of real people, it is a work of fiction. Since the book is about F. Scott's wife Zelda, this is written from her viewpoint and there are times where you really feel badly for F. Scott's treatment of his wife. They were originally married and had a great life ahead of them, however, due to F. Scott's mismanagement of money, alcohol and Zelda does tear at your heartstrings.

What really got to me was when Zelda was put into various psychiatric hospitals and according to the Afterward was misdiagnosed and given treatments that were not necessary. What also really got to me was that Zelda had dreams and aspirations but was pigeonholed to be a wife and mother (as a result of the time period), but that's actually what made me the most upset. When she actually got to write something, it was published first under F. Scott's name and then had a shared byline. The one time that Zelda's named appeared by itself, the works were not successful.

I am now excited to watch the Prime show to see how this book is translates to television.

The new open-world platform really worked for the Zelda series. I love how there is always something more to do (beat all of the shrines, find all of the Korok seeds, beat every monster...). They are also constantly updating the game and adding DLC. (0 more)
The game is very repetitive - same 5 or so types of monsters, the shrines start to feel the same. In sure this is way easier for Nintendo to produce in a shorter time, and it's their first Zelda game like this, so I totally get it. (0 more)
