This Side of Paradise is good but bloated for a first novel
Tender is the Night is good for the first 2/3 and then implodes
Gatsby is good all the way through
The Beautiful and Damned is good all the way through

the first 1/3 of tender is my favourite portion of a novel, it's so idyllic right up until the last sentence.

Bloated? Has a great feel for college life in East Coast U.S. a hundred years ago and concludes beautifully. It can be read easily in a day.
