I do however think the writing was great and the more drama-ish bits were entertaining. The choice to have it be from an outsiders perspective was also quite a good choice aswell.

For such a short book though, it started off really slow and the build-up to the climax was slow too.
I don’t really think Fitzgerald wrote with the intention to flesh out the characters, there is a lack of backstory to all of them except Gatsby. As much as I hated Daisy and Tom, Carraway was ostensibly acquainted with them yet didn’t have much to say about them. The dialogues were confusing at times too.
