The novel explores themes of decadence, idealism, resistance to change, social upheaval, and excess, creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream.
Customer Reviews
Poorly edited edition
It’s been a while since I read this book, so I thought I would read it again now that’s it in the public domain. I am only half way through chapter 1, and there are many errors is editing. No capitals after punctuation, missing punctuation, and partially repeated words. If you can overcome those errors as you read and not worry about reading the book authentically, then by all means give it a shot.
