Review: An autobiography?
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 1, 2013
The story is about Amory, a young man from a well-to-do family, a deceased father and a doting but distant mother living in Europe.  It follows him through his education at a private school and then at Princeton and finally into his real world which means living off his family investments and not working.  During this time, his mother makes some bad investments so by the end of the book, the investments are gone and he is left only with his ability work for an advertising agency (which is not his style) or to become a writer, maybe.  I have read the last few pages several times and think that he finally realized that all he had left were his beliefs and ideas and that was enough.
