“The book is rendered in luxe colors of rose, gold, amethyst and aquamarine, making us feel as though we’re watching the events of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel through gems held up to the light … readers ages 14 and older will find it hugely rewarding.” –Wall Street Journal
“Synesthetes will delight as the Roaring Twenties come alive in mellifluous watercolors informed by both period ephemera and pure imagination. As visual metaphors wash over the page, fascinating experiments with figure and ground toggle between surrealism and pitiless reality…” –School Library Journal
“The original’s themes of obsession, deception, reinvention, and the dissatisfactions of the wealthy are all captured in this adaptation. But the graphic novel has its own distinct style, helping to elaborate on those themes—and on the characters.” –Foreword Magazine, Five-star review
