How can this be hailed as a shining example of Anything. This book enrages me to my core. This is my second time trying the first time I tried it was 6 years ago I made it to page 48 before throwing up at the monstrosity that is Amory Blaine and the inner workings that is Amory Blaine. Maybe I know too well the likes of Amory Blaine and can say unequivocally that a person of such constitution as Amory Blaine needs a sound beating left and right for 48 hours and then be hauled off to a hard labor camp where they are treated like the undeserving worm that they are before they learn one shred of humility, similarily anyone who reads this book and goes Wow, I really see myself in Amory Blaine, or Wow, how admirable is AmoRY Blaine, how Interesting is Amory Blaine also needs to be carried off to a forced labor camp. There is Nothing redeeming or salvageable about this kind of character and this kind of person. Someone talk me down from the ledge of anger and hatred. What was fitzgeralds purpose in crafting such a pathetic conceited uselessly hollow shell of a cretinous boy, his Handsomeness be damned.
