brennieree33 's review for:
The Great Gatsby
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
slow-paced
Feb. 2020
I liked the story and the symbolism of this book, but Fitzgerald's writing was confusing enough to the point that the story was difficult to read. Two stars.

Okay, I'm going to bump this book up a star, as I think I appreciate this book more now that I read it in class and had someone to help me understand it. The symbolism is so cool, and I really understood things more. Nick really annoys me as a character though, as he spends the whole book saying that he's honest, when he keeps things from the characters the whole book. But it was good. Not great, not bad, just good. I appreciate the writing style, but it's just so wordy and hard to read, so I'll just acknowledge that and be fine with the fact that I didn't like it.
