I had to read this for summer reading and I dont feel like im old enough to really understand most of it really? Im also not the biggest fan of America or rich people so that kinda tetered me off of it aswell. I did deduct a few stars are slurs and racism (but also it was the 1920s so im cutting them some slack) and the fact that Francis Scott Fitsgerald plagarized it from his wife, Zelda Fitzgerald, yet its still under his name.
I do however think the writing was great and the more drama-ish bits were entertaining. The choice to have it be from an outsiders perspective was also quite a good choice aswell.

This book was a little harder read for me. I didn't like the flow of it. The husband to Daisy was a horrible character.
<Spoiler> I didn't like that the husband was cheating on Daisy with another married woman. I also looked at spoilers and saw that infidelity was going to be a themed in this novel. Also Daisy's character was also written to be very cynical and foolish.<Spoiler>

This was not the book for me.

Olen aikaisemmin katsonut kirjaan perustuva elokuvan, mutta en muistanut tarinan olevan tällainen. Tarina pääsi yllättämään.
Tarina ja hahmot ovat kiinnostavia, vaikka tuntuu että tarinassa loppujen lopuksi tapahtuu aika vähän.
