I don’t remember specifics of The Great Gatsby’s language to comment on it as an adaptation, but I thought the book was great. At first the Gatsby stuff seemed the weakest, but it came around. I was surprised by certain plot points and not by others, but it was a fun intrigue and glamour. I would reread.
