Book Rating
This novel allows Fitzgerald's lavish, lyrical writing style to shine. The characters are engaging and there's a hint of mystery about it all that is incredibly alluring. (0 more)
In my personal opinion, this novel is not Fitgerald's best. "Tender is the Night" or "The Beatiful and the Damned" or even his first "This Side of Paradise" were more complex and emotionally charged. Luckily for him, "not his best" is still a smash. (0 more)

No Such Thing As Too Much
Described as "the sound of four men chopping down the Joshua Tree," Achtung Baby combined cutting edge (excuse the pun) production with the personal and genuine performance that U2 are known for.

With five hit singles, some of the remaining songs only seem weak in comparison. On their own, album tracks like Acrobat and Love Is Blindness outshine a lot of songs that followed them.

Slay Demi!
Demi has out done herself! Her vocals on this album were so powerful and well confident! I love that Demi now feels comfortable and confident in her own skin an was ready to share that with us. She got real with us about her feelings and made each song feel very personal. That is the mark of a true artist right there.
