"I want to write something new, something extraordinary and beautiful and simple and intricately patterned." F. Scott Fitzgerald (1923).
"The first step American fiction has taken since Henry James." T. S. Eliot (of The Great Gatsby)
"One of the most important works in American literature - and, to many, the great American novel." - Time (of The Great Gatsby)
"One of the most wonderful writers of the twentieth century." - Financial Times.
F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of the greatest American novelists. This edition collects his three of his major novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, and The Great Gatsby.
This Side of Paradise, Fitzgerald's first novel, was a cultural sensation, achieving critical and commercial success. It established Fitzgerald as the chronicler of the Jazz Age. It was to be Fitzgerald's bestselling book during his lifetime. "The glorious spirit of abounding youth glows throughout this fascinating tale ... this book is as nearly perfect as such a work could be." - The New York Times.
The Beautiful and Damned explores one of Fitzgerald's themes: the subtly destructive power of wealth. Anthony Patch succeeds in marrying the beautiful Gloria, but they idle their lives away waiting to inherit Anthony's grandfather's fortune. It comes only after a long legal battle; by then, they have lost interest in each other and in life. "The Beautiful and Damned is a timeless tale. What happens to ... Anthony and Gloria has happened to the same kind of people over and over again." -- Robbert Littell, The New Republic.
The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece is perhaps "The Great American Novel," and its protagonist, Jay Gatsby, is an almost mythic figure in American culture. It is, as Fitzgerald hoped, something new, something extraordinary. The novel is set on Long Island, during the enthusiasm, abandon, and free-flowing illegal liquor of "the Jazz Age," a term coined by Fitzgerald, who was himself was the quintessential chronicler of The Roaring Twenties.
The handsome millionaire Jay Gatsby seems to have everything, but where did his wealth come from, and what is he still in search of? Gatsby's life mirrors Fitzgerald's: they both fell in love, then struggled to establish themselves financially to prove themselves worthy. Fitzgerald wrote, "Show me a hero, and I'll write you a tragedy." Gatsby was a tragic hero, much like his creator. This incandescent and magical novel is near the top of almost every list of "best novels."
This beautiful hardcover edition, formatted in an easy-to-read 11 point font, is an ideal way to appreciate the creative genius of F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Francis Scott Fitzgerald (1896 - 1940) was an American novelist, essayist, screenwriter, and short-story writer. He is best known for these novels depicting the flamboyance and excess of the Jazz Age. Writer Richard Ford calls Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and Faulkner "The Three Kings who set the measure for every writer since."

Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
