First 2/3 are really good and then it kinda falls apart but it’s worth reading if you are interested in Fitzgerald.

Most unFitzgeraldlike of his books but I think it reads fairly well as a certain type of modernist novel. 6.5/10
Favorite by him's B&D.

The psychiatry is kinda dated knowing what we know now about schizophrenia. Also Dick’s interest in jailbait seems a bit brushed under the rug. The parts about a marriage deteriorating and a man’s career starting to unravel due to alcohol ring pretty true though.
