content: This title did bring out the society of the 1920's and was very well written. Prohibition caused social problems and classes in the society and F. Scott Fitzgerald certrainly showed he had an understanding of this society. I'm sure when this was written, many people were kind of offended at his not-so-perfect depiction of the life beneath the glamour of the 20's. Now it can be appreciated and I hope no one who reviewed this book had the audacity to review this book badly because it conflicted with their personal views. I hate when that stands in the way of enjoying a good book.
