I couldn't really get into this one. Romans are crazy.

This book is like Mary Poppins: practically perfect in every way.

It's kind of a strange sensation when you read a Shakespeare play and all the voices in your head sound like Kenneth Branagh.

As with every play ever, it is better in person. This one especially. Because it's comedic and light hearted, you can miss the physicality and hilarity the actors contribute to the dialogue by just sitting and reading this in your dorm room.

By the way I read this in one sitting so I am quite proud of myself. Of course it's only because now I have to write a paper on it...

I mean Fitzgerald just has beautiful language and always intriguing characters, especially the women. Although I was really confused until the end. Then it was all, oh Fitzgerald, you've done it again.
