I expected greatness only to be met with something only great in its dullness. It is lost on me why ‘The Great Gatsby’ is considered a classic, perhaps I’m missing some social commentary but all I’ve discovered is that its an uninteresting book about boring and awful people. The redeeming qualities of this book would be its beautiful writing that at times made the book difficult to understand and I was forced to reread parts; as well as the character of Gastby who is admittedly somewhat great, without him this book would have been a complete waffle. I thought that Gatsby was quite funny and charming however he was certainly no intriguing mystery - I didn’t even really understand there was supposed to be a mystery until it was spoon-fed to me and his whole life goal is entirely trivial. Nothing truly happens, it’s all a bit of miff.

It was a really quick and easy read, but not really memorable to me. I loved the atmosphere and the vibe of the parties, but the book focused to heavily on things that weren’t of interest to me and focused too little on things that were interesting. I would have probably liked it more if it was more fleshed out. The characters were also pretty unlikeable and the ending affected me way less than I thought it would. I’m excited to watch the movie (the one with Leonardo DiCaprio) because it seems really good and right up my ally aesthetically.
