Just finished this book. Holy cow, one of the most depressing books I've read. Any one else read it?

Tried to read it years ago, but just never could get into it. I should give it another shot.
The Beautiful & Damned is my favorite Gatsby book, but it's also pretty depressing.

It's probably my favorite Fitzgerald book. Perhaps that's because I was just at that late high school/early college age when I read it.
The book would have been even better without the half-hearted political spiel at the very end which was just kind of out of place with the book as a whole.
All in all though, I thought the book was a good self-discovery, coming of age type of narrative with just the right amount of cynical detachment.

I've read it. Agree it is depressing, but it's still one of my favorite books.
