Review title: Easy read
Product review: I am home recovering from surgery and have time to read. But I'm foggy and needed something easy. This was it. I really did not like any of the characters. I tried to read this as if I was reading Fitzgerald and yes saw the parallels but somehow with it being relatively current (2001) I found the characters' wealth obscene and their personalities shallow. Yes, maybe that's the point. I don't drop pennies the way Luke drops a $50 here and there. And yet. They were human. And who the heck am I to "judge" a fictional character, lol. I gave this 4 stars for 3 reasons: 1. some of the prose was beautiful even if some of the dialogue was ridiculous; 2. it entertained me post-op and took my mind off of pain and 3. and most importantly: I LOVED THE LAST CHAPTER and yes, it redeemed the whole book for me and made me sigh at the end and almost want to re-read it.
