    from what i got from the blurb was that gatsby was this really decadent and the characters were all tese dorian gray debauched types. this was what drew me in. however they didnt come off like that at all. was a bit disapointed by this, but it was still really good.

    I had to read this book in High School. I think that if I had read it on my own, I wouldn't have liked it. But, since I had a great teacher helping the class to interpret the underlying messages I really enjoyed reading it.

    I've had a few people recommend for me to read The Great Gatsby, but still haven't heard anything about its contents or story line. There was a possibility to read it for my TAG Literature class, but it didn't work out. We decided to read a different story. It's been a book that keeps reoccuring in conversations and I'm wondering if its worth the time and effort to read. Any thoughts?

    I really liked this book. I feel like the reading was very different than most. I thought that the relationship between Fitzgerald and the characters was more deeply related than we were allowed to think. I want to see the movie to see how it compares to the book.

    This book was alright but it was definitely better than all the movie versions. The novel provides the reader with a greater insight on the characters. But the plot isn't all that great. I would like there to be more at the end. There were a lot of loose ends which wasn't solved.

    Hi all -

    Just wanted to get feedback on a new website that a bunch of us (mostly Ph.D. and Masters students from Stanford and Berkeley) just recently launched.

    Here's our coverage of To Kill a Mockingbird (it's one of our favorites!). We'd love to know what you think.

    Thanks!
