Ah, sweet nostalgia. This book gave birth to a whole train of inside jokes and metaphors among my friends in high school. While I don't remember the book itself as being a particularly exciting read, it certainly has an unforgettable ending which compels me to come back again and again:

"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgasmic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter- tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther ... And one fine morning-

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

Qué estilo de escritura tan pesado de seguir. Siento que ni leí una versión íntegra porque había pedazos que no entendí lo que quería describir Fitzgerald.
El imagery que el autor de evoca es precioso, uno puede quedar inmerso en la época e imaginarlo todo, hasta caer rendido por un personaje tan superficial como Daisy.
Le "moraleja" es temendo brochazo gordo y nada sutil pero sirve para la historia, no podía acabar de otra forma pero sí eché en falta que su ritmo no fuese tan álgido para ese punto.
De todas formas es un must-read por lo buena que es la novela en retratar aquellos años.

5 stars. Truly a beautiful classic. Not so much a love story, more a tragedy. I read this back in high school, but reading it again in my 20s makes me appreciate it more for what it really is.
