Booth Tarkington : The Flirt before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Flirt:

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Booth Tarkington is a forgotten Master of fictionBy MoonglowHis books are about a period in history when people actually had rules of civility and a well brought up girl might actually blush if a blue remark was made in her presence, but Booth had great sense of humor and this and Seventeen and especially the Penrod series all made me laugh a lot.His serious books, and The Magnificent Ambersons, are top notch in terms of understanding human self rationalizations for bad behavior, but I don't like to read about crummy people so didn't really enjoy them. But if you like serious drama, I'd recommend them too because they are the best of the type (Pulitzer prize winning).9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Not for everyoneBy AmyMI enjoyed this story, in particular the teasing and rivalry between the three siblings. The character development is great, but the story is not for everyone. You feel sorry for poor Laura, living in sister Cora's shadow, but you do have an idea how things will turn out from the get-go, making the ending sort of anti-climatic. It's not so much a love story, as a tale of life in a small town during a period in time when communication with other parts of the world was not as quick, and scam artists were rampant. There are a lot of typos, but they don't interfere with the story.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.

Newton Booth Tarkington (July 29, 1869 – May 19, 1946) was an American novelist and dramatist best known for his novels The Magnificent Ambersons and Alice Adams. He is, with William Faulkner and John Updike, one of only three novelists to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once. In an essay titled "Hoosiers: The Lost World of Booth Tarkington", appearing in the May 2004 issue of The Atlantic Monthly, Thomas Mallon wrote of Tarkington that "only general ignorance of his work has kept him from being pressed into contemporary service as a literary environmentalist — not just a 'conservationist,' in the TR mode, but an emerald-Green decrier of internal combustion": The automobile, whose production was centered in Indianapolis before World War I, became the snorting, belching villain that, along with soft coal, laid waste to Tarkington's Edens. His objections to the auto were aesthetic—in The Midlander (1923) automobiles sweep away the more beautifully named "phaetons" and "surreys"—but also something far beyond that. Dreiser, his exact Indiana contemporary, might look at the Model T and see wage slaves in need of unions and sit-down strikes; Tarkington saw pollution, and a filthy tampering with human nature itself. "No one could have dreamed that our town was to be utterly destroyed," he wrote in The World Does Move. His important novels are all marked by the soul-killing effects of smoke and asphalt and speed, and even in Seventeen, Willie Baxter fantasizes about winning Miss Pratt by the rescue of precious little Flopit from an automobile's rushing wheels.
