Rezensionen

He was better than he knew, for in fact and in the literary sense he invented a generation. The New York Times

It would have been Fitzgerald's best novel . . . Even in this truncated form it not only makes absorbing reading; it is the best piece of creative writing that we have about one phase of American life - Hollywood and the movies New York Times
