In the book we read Nick Carraway’s recollection of a summer spent with Jay Gatsby, his neighbor with the enormous house who hosts ridiculously big parties. We follow him as we meet all sorts of dramatic, shallow, selfish people. 

This summary might sound unpleasent but it was just a very interesting read. The way these people are described is very well done (although I was familiar with the film), but basically all of them were annoying and just awful people.
