All in all its was a decent read.
Tom is cynical, racist and sexist big but for a member of wealth in the 1900s im really not suprised.
Gatsby is definitely wrapped up in an enigma. He's very mysterious, giving him a magician vibe which fits well with the title of this book.
Nick is a little too focused on Gatsby. And his attention is only taken by gossiping with the female characters over whether or not Tom has a girl up in new york. And the other part of his attention is on Jordan who he described as small breasted and boyish. All of these makes me think he's batting for the same team as I. Im gonna go search out some scholars see if they have thought the same thing.
Also loved Daisy. Thought she was kinda funny and
I enjoyed that this book is the story of Gatsby but told throug the eyes of someone else. It allowed for a unique view into this particular slice of Gatsby's life.
The characters were decent but lacked any arc or development. They sort of started crappy. Remained crappy and
But yeah 3.25 stars as I wouldn't read it again. BUT as classics go it's one of the best i've read so deffo a 4 stars in that specific category
