Title: Save Me the Waltz (Vintage Classics) by Zelda Fitzgerald ISBN: 0-09-928655-6 Publisher: Vintage Format: Paperback |
Average Customer Rating: 2.5 (2 reviews)
Rating: 1
Summary: Unreadable
Comment: My copy of this book claims that it was written in 6 weeks and that it was written while Zelda Fitzgerald was in the mental hospital. This pretty much ends my fascination with fast-written books by mental patients.
The book is interesting if you are an F. Scott Fitzgerald fan, but there's nothing to lend to its credibility. The main character has no insights as to how she became like she became and she doesn't say anything concerning F. Scott Fitzgerald that has any interest whatsoever. Pretty much it's a tragedy of a southern belle used to being the center of attention who must play the role of The Writer's Wife. She tries to be creative, but her lack of talent in all areas (including writing) only works against her.
It's sad, but it's also pointless.

Summary: Save Me the Waltz- Zelda's life in her perspective
Comment: Save Me the Waltz is a book worth reading. Although rather wordy and flowery in language Zelda pulls off a nice piece of work. The book basically goes through telling about Zelda Fitzgeralds' life only she tells it through the eyes of a character named Alabama. If you arent familiar with Zelda's life its quite the tragic story. Goes through her life in Alabama(the state), then her marriage to a great painter(portrays the role of F. Scott) and how they achieved stardom and then lost it all. If you dont like reading things that are very descriptive and use lots of metaphors and similes dont read this book. However it is really quite good and youll fall in love with all the imagery. The book is double sided, both portraying the beauty of life as well as its suffering. Really I do recommend.
