This is often rated as a mediocre work by Fitzgerald, I believe one of his first, and that is probably based on the ending.  It is like a trip down the coast, the trees and sea are beautiful but then you turn around because the end is a common crab house.  Fitzgerald develops the characters in a way that you recognize them and some of the dialog is inspirational, but the ending is tacked on and makes no sense.  If you are a writer or aspiring writer then I would rate this at four and a half stars because the craftsmanship is fantastic.  It is a novel that should be studied.  I enjoyed it and recommend it to you.
