Just okay. Fitzgerald is a wonderful and talented writer, but I'm sad to say I found the book to be overrated.

For me it was hard to love any of the characters, a lot were unlikeable for me. Gatsby with his thoughtless provoking of Tom, Daisy in her careless flirtations. Nick with his naivity.
But I enjoyed the story it weaved, the language brought me back in time.
I wish there could have been justice for Gatsby and for him to have more true friends in the end. A harsh reminder that your house can be full of guests but that doesn't mean they are your friends.

I liked this book and also the characters but some chapters are bland to read. I gave it 3 stars.

The Great Gatsby, by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald, is a novel set on Long Island in the 1920s that uses its characters to explore themes of materialism and the American Dream.
