I think this is the third time I've read this book and what I noticed this time is that it tends to drag a bit in the middle. But more than that I was reminded what a grand charact ...more "

The first half of this tome gets five stars, the second half three stars. Chernow is a fantastic biographer, and he does a great job in the first 500,000 pages (or however long the first half is) of presenting the character of Samuel Clemens and the ...more

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther....

F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
