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. 

 This book wasn't exactly what I thought it was going to be, but it was still really good. 

 This book is so good! I love the book along with the musical. Both are fantastic.

  Except for a person who's lived for 100 years asking a 10 year old to marry him once she turns 17. He was physically 17, but it was still a little creepy.

Man, I really needed to read this book again. I've been reading a lot of very dense books - series with books over 300 pages at least - and I really needed something sweet, short, and simple. I love this book so much. It just makes you feel. Happy, sad, melancholic. This is such a good book, and a beautiful example of what a story can make you feel, and what people can do with words. Seriously, read this book.

Still great as ever. Perfect book to end of 2021 with.
