Novel
'This Side of Paradise'
Here is a critique of a classic novel that I just finished about a week ago. The name of the novel is 'This Side of Paradise'. The author is quite famous for a lot of his work. His name is F. Scott Fitzgerald. My idea is to start reading or even re-reading and offering reviews and critiques of my collection of classic novels that I have bought over the years.

I Don't Know If There Is Such a Thing as a Tesseract, But I'm Glad There's A Wrinkle in Time
Tempestuous Meg, her genius little brother, and lonely neighbor Calvin adventure through dimensions to find Meg's long-missing father, aided by three mysterious ... angels? Fighting to resist It (a giant, pulsing, fascist brain), Meg must embrace her feisty imperfections to restore her beloved, brainwashed brother. Timeless lesson: love overcomes darkness.

Fahrenheit 451: A Critique
An incendiary critique of censorship and suppression. Set in a future where books burn, it feels all too prescient when writing has become an act of resistance and politicians ban books for votes. Bradbury’s warning against sacrificing knowledge on society’s altar is a chilling reminder of the power of information.

Twilight
An awkward teenager. A sparkly vampire. A besotted werewolf. Love it or hate it, the cultural impact of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight is undeniable. Combining supernatural themes with young adult romance for the first time, the series paved the way for a new sub-genre in fiction and has become truly iconic.

A Man Called Ove
Ove is ready to die. Unfortunately, a new neighbor disturbs his death and forces him to live (and where’d the cat come from?). Humorous and heartfelt, A Man Called Ove is an honest look at the joy and sorrow of living told through the life of one cranky old man.

Unforgiving- Alien Weaponry
I hate to admit that the first time I heard Unforgiving was in concert. The first time was surreal, as I stood next to my brother, who I nearly lost the previous year. Little did I know a year later, this would be my comfort song when my grandmother passed.

The Snow Goose
A story about a beautiful friendship between a disabled social outcast and an innocent young girl. Set against the background of the horrors of the Second World War, this simple, overly sentimental, parable, plots the route to an epic act of bravery and unrequited love. It's a tear-jerker, par excellence.

The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists
It sold a million copies and helped a major political party to win a post-war General Election. It's a classic tale about how the impoverished, politically powerless working class is ruthlessly exploited by the ingrained corruption of their employers. It is a story all about how turkeys vote for Christmas.
