A review by sarasofraz
All the Sad Young Men by F. Scott Fitzgerald
2.0
I liked it. This is the second Fitzgerald i've read and as a compilation of novellas it is good but not mind-blowing or anything. He has a very distinct writing style which became a lot more apparent after reading this. I don't know if this is written before or after The Great Gatsby but I felt like this was a pre-written and that it lead on to become that great novel.
It's all about men's success and stuff like that, so there's no female characters really, and it wasn't very keen on women when there were female characters. But I liked it quite well anyhow.
Honestly it was a bit repetitive and I mostly only finished it because I was travelling and only had this with me at the time. If you have read The Great Gatsby or are planning to read it, don't bother with this one.
