honestly I have read Tender is The night, The Beauty and The Damned, and Great Gatsby, and my favorite was by far the most popular one. IMO it gets shit on because it's the most popular. While the other two I read were decent, they didn't always know when to end and could've used a more severe editor. I enjoyed the tight, concise nature of Gatsby because he never got a chance to get tired.
