Negative Positive
Title: Shockingly Bad
Review: I am not a big fan of F.Scott Fitzgerald's, but I do believe he had genuine talent. Unfortunately, Fitzgerald's talent is sorely lacking in this novel, Tender is the Night. The characters are neither attractive or entirely believeable, and the jerky transitions from scenes and time frames are exhausting to follow. I regret to agree 100% with Hemmingway's scathing review of this novel. Fitzgerald fans should check out the movie version of Tender is the Night starring Jennifer Jones and Jason Robards to appreciate what Fitzgerald may have been aiming for in his novel of love and the unintentioned consequences of a mismatched couple.
Is the review positive or negative?
