1ra lectura: 3 estrellas: fue una de esas lecturas que me hicieron estar confundido todo el tiempo pero al final todo de desenrrolla y todo está en el lugar indicado. todo tiene sentido cuando termina y, a pesar de no tener una trama tan desenvuelta y extensa, se puede llegar a disfrutar bastante. pasé de leer cosas como pride and prejudice y nineteen eighty four con tramas que necesitan su vasto desarrollo para entender, tal vez esperaba lo mismo de este libro. de ahí viene el porqué mi puntaje, pero de todos modos no dejó de ser una lectura más que agradable. aparte, no puedo dejar de mencionar mi ojo de traductor que presta el 50% de atencion a la trama y 50% al lenguaje; la cantidad de modismos, expresiones y frases que quebraron mi cabeza al pensar en como traducirlas y mantener esa cultura estadounidense caracteristica de este libro fueron infinitas. maravilloso ese uso del lenguaje, la trama voy a tener que dejarla asentar un rato más. veremos qué pasa el año que viene en las clases de literatura 2 con cari.

2da lectura: 3.5 estrellas: esta vez, leyendolo con mas detenimiento, me gusto mucho mas !! le preste atencion a cosas que antes me perdí. aunque en general no es un libro que me vuele la cabeza, lo disfruté mucho mas que la 1ra vez que lo lei. muy buen libro

The only book I was eager to finish just to watch the movie adapted from this book.

This would have been a better book if Daisy and Jordan ended up together

Ok maybe I am missing something, but I really didn’t like this book at all. Everyone loves it. Everyone says it's such a great love story, blah blah blah. But I don’t see it. It's just a bunch of super whiny rich people that just lie to each other to be cool, cheat on their husbands and wives, oh and run people over with cars and kill them and just pretend it didn’t happen…Did not enjoy this. I really wanted to, but I just couldn't.
