I haven't enjoyed the book at first that much. But with more and more pages read i started to like it a lot. It's beautifly writen. I think that it's a kind of book that you either like a lot or don't like at all.

I A few months ago I started reading The Great Gatsby. But I only read the first chapter and then I stopped, because I had no real interest or motivation to read further. Fortunately I picked the book up again this August, since I ended up really enjoying it. I am therefore very happy that I bought Fitzgeralds book, and I am definintly planning on rereading it in the future.

Is this book pretentious? Yes. Did I enjoy it? Also, yes. Here’s the deal... this book really focuses in on the lives of a certain group of people (the “old monied upper class”) and this group of people don’t really develop over the course of the story (ie- Tom, Daisy, and Jordan.) However, I liked Nick as the narrator as he is the clear outlier of this group, clearly the one who doesn’t fit in, but he is observant and open in the way he tells his story. The way he is both an active participant in and a witness to the lives of those around him is an interesting way to approach the events of the story as a reader. In short, if you like celebrity drama...this book may be for you, if you’re looking for loveable characters with diverse backgrounds...maybe not.

Just my opinion, but I have a strong suspicion Nick might be bisexual, uncorroborated, but I think, possible
