I have never read the original The Great Gatsby so I can't speak on how well of a remix this was but as a story and book on its own, it was beautiful and lovely. The eventual romance between Jay and Nick was so sweet and tender and the underlying messages throughout the novel really hit emotionally. I think my one complaint was that it was a little slow in some areas but that didn't take away too much from the story for me, cause it was really about the characters.
