Why is this book so romanticized? Why do teachers and professors teach on it? Why was it popular enough to be made into a movie? Why do people throw parties with "Gatsby" as the theme? This book revolved around nothing but horrible, selfish people, who did nothing but cheat on each other and put each other down. No one cared about anybody else, they all just did what they wanted and no one cared enough to stop them. I will say that I am impressed by how much the author was able to fit into 110 pages. I was not a fan of any of the characters, they were all very two-dimensional and cheated on each other, or at least knew someone was cheating or being cheated on and said nothing about it. And also, the way that they talked to each other and about each other was horrible even though they pretended it wasn't. I hated this book and I'm glad it was a short read.
