This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald has been praised for its vivid portrayal of post-World War I America and its exploration of youth's idealism and disillusionment. Reviewers often commend Fitzgerald's captivating prose and insightful character development.

About the Author

F Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) left Princeton University in 1917 to join the army. He is said to have epitomized the Jazz Age, which he himself defined as 'a generation grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken'. In 1920 he entered a traumatic marriage which was to influence much of his writing.
