Tender Is the Night

De: F. Scott Fitzgerald

It is 1925, and Richard Diver is the high priest of the good life on the white sands of the French Riviera. The Beautiful People - film stars, socialites, aristocrats - gather eagerly and bitchily around him and his wife Nicole. Beneath the breathtaking glamour, however, is a world of pain, and there is at the core of their lives a brittle hollowness. Beautiful, powerful, and tragic, Tender is the Night is one of the great works of American fiction.

Tender is my life

Any additional comments?

After about a couple weeks I was getting pulled further and further into this novel to the point that I couldn't stop thinking about it and talking about it to others who were not reading it. The main character is so interesting and you join the characters in his life in wanting more and more when he pulls away. Extremely interesting, classically tragic book about a marriage that flips upside down and an affair that is truly haunting.

Stunning book, well-performed and rich

What did you love best about Tender Is the Night?

I guess I thought I had read this book, and then when I began the story, WOW, it was new and fabulous. How had I missed this book so far into my life? So well-crafted, individual sentences and phrases should be savored. And its story, so compelling and memorable. Hard to put down, but wish I were still reading it!

Bitter Sweet

I love F Scott Fitzgerald and this story did not disappoint. The narration was excellent and the ending.... oh ....

Great pace and rhythm!

Great pace, rhythm, and inflection. Easy to comprehend and dynamic in tone. Good variating accents.

Just fair

The narration of this made me absolutely nuts. The reader has a good feel for the story but ruins the book by ending almost every sentence on an up inflection as in a question. The end result was that all of the characters sounded perpetually petulant so by the time things are falling apart you are so annoyed that there is no impact.
