omqchristi 's review for:

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
2.0

Readability: 3/5
Plot: 3/5
Recommend: No

The Great Gatsby details the story of Jay Gatsby and his love for Daisy Buchanan, a married woman. It is also accompanied by the lives of Tom Buchanan (Daisy's husband), Jordan Baker, and Nick Carraway.

I came into this book with pretty high expectations and was quite disappointed. I read this in one sitting with an audiobook and the physical book, and if it weren't for the audiobook, I don't think I would've wanted to finish this in one sitting. The beginning and middle of the book were slow, and since the end was faster with more things happening, I think the end was the best.

There wasn't anything special or significant in this book. I expected something that would make me feel or think some way, but that didn't happen. This book is okay, but is very overrated.
