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)

Utterly captivating. A masterful piece of good old fashioned story telling. (0 more)
A grimm fairytale
I haven't been so completely drawn into a book since I read Michael Ende's "Neverending Story" (hell mend you Disney for what you did to that exquisite novel). This is a heartachingly tender story of childhood bereavement and bewilderment. The tale is so skillfully woven I walked every step of the story with the lost and lonely little protagonist.

Movie Favorite

"I really love all of Bresson’s movies, but I’m picking this one because it was the first one I saw by him and one of the first VHS tapes I ever bought. I still own that tape. There’s this beautiful, tender, awkward quality to all of Bresson’s movies that I really love. You feel like the actors might forget their lines at any moment . . . but then they don’t, and it just feels so transcendently real . . ."
