You’re not supposed to like the characters in this book, and Fitzgerald never tries to make you. They’re lazy, spoiled, and racist people that bring about their own misfortune and lack any sense of compassion for others. Their selfishness causes them to be damned, as it were.
It was an interesting book to read, even though I was not too fond of the characters themselves. The beginning was a little slow as well, but it got considerably better from there.
I’m glad both Fitzgerald’s writing and character development got better over the years. Reading this right after The Last Tycoon really showed me how much he had improve.
