A review by sofiaflowers
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

4.5

I first read this in high school but I wrote a paper on it so I thought i remembered it well.  Then I watched the musical this week and needed to reread the book lol.  The book is definitely better than the musical!  I honestly hated most of the characters they were all yuppies who wouldn't know honest work if it looked them in the face.  The musical showed Daisy as a tragic damsel in distress type but she's the same as ALL OF THEM!  She doesn't care about Gatsby more than she cares about herself (which fair enough).  Also Nick is too gay for Gatsby lmao I kept finding myself rooting for Gatsby but he's just like the rest of them obsessed with status and wealth.  Daisy is a trophy for him (but also for Tom let's be real).  She was raised to be a trophy and she acts like someone who thinks she's better than everyone because of it.  Whatever it's a short read and it's a little complicated.  I liked it even on a reread.

What happened with that guy in the artistic game and Nick? 🤔
