  • Review: “Gatsby” not quite so great

    Sparkling champagne, big parties, reckless behavior and extravagant wealth. The Roaring Twenties was a time of splendor, with rocketing stocks, glittering jazz and bootleg alcohol. In the midst of the careless decade comes “The Great Gatsby,” a masterful novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a war veteran who goes to great lengths to win back his past love.

    In his cinematic rendition of the beloved classic "The Great Gatsby," director Baz Luhrmann didn't quite manage to capture the poetic feeling of Fitzgerald's prose. Photo by Paige Esterly.

  • Review: “Famous Last Words” doesn’t live up to its title

    Recently, The Paly Voice was asked by the publishers to review the new Young Adult novel Famous Last Words, by Jennifer Salvato Doktorski before its official release. The book will be available in stores starting this July.

    Doktorski's book may be rather brainless, but it's perfect for a summer read by the pool. Photo by Paige Esterly
