Tender Is the Night Hardcover – Special Edition, June 10, 1996

As far as the quality of the writing, that’s up to each individual reader. But as far as the physical quality of the book, amazing. Great binding, nice paper, beautiful book covers. Color and materials used are excellent.

Was happy to receive the wonderful, hardcover edition of this book. I would recommend the seller.

I enjoyed this book.

enjoyed the description of the time and the place. the people were a bit of human nature...a little messy.

If you consider this book a literary mess you probably have really poor reading comprehension skills if not that of a 5th graders.

A very powerful work of fiction , but still close to reality .Fitzgerald was a master story teller .Between "Tender is the night" and "The Great Gatsby" ,it is difficult to decide which one I like more .Both are masterpieces.I quote Sam Taylor-Wood:"It is one of those books that you read and feel a shift... the story is told so poetically and eloquently. It is one of those books that you read and think: if I could only remember that sentence -- it is so beautiful."If there is one book to be read in this year,it is this .Highly recommended.

Tender Is The Night is the second novel I have read by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I thought that after The Great Gatsby that I would continue experiencing such excellence by this novel. I am so glad I did. This novel made me feel like I was watching a silent film. I could just see Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. walking along a veranda along the Mediterranean Sea. I could feel the sea breeze and smell the air. What's is more is that I felt like I was there along with the characters as if I were in with their group of devil may care expatriates. I could truly see the strength of the title in the story. I could also see the parallel of Zelda's mental instability in this novel. I loved it and wholly recommend it if you want to feel transported to the early twentieth century or if you just want to know that even the rich have problems too.

Great book, fluid, insightful, detailed, gripping and haunting. I read the Great Gatsby year's ago, which I liked, but this also is a classic that may be better than Gatsby. Excellent description of life in post WW1 Europe amongst the exceedingly rich, but not too detached from the reality of the environment and times to be like an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. There is history, psychiatry, art , leisure and seriousness woven throughout. I'm struck anew by Fitzgerald's smooth prose and uncanny ablity to sum and summarize people and places so creatively.
