emotional mysterious reflective sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

I remember reading The Great Gatsby in high school; I was not impressed. I didn't know much about the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, organized crime, or the First World War to understand a lot of what was going on. There's a lot of subtext to the story, and the pop culture knowledge that readers would have had when the book came out is very different than what current readers have.
