A lot of people always have a place for this novel in their list of greatest novels they've read. I don't get it. I mean, I've read much better novels. I'm not saying it's bad; actually, it's good and I like it.

I almost got bored reading this until the I got to the last 1/3 of the novel. It's good that I decided to finish reading it.

    Interesting - I've always felt the same way. I read it again to see if I'd opened more to it, but honestly had the same feeling. I think F writes a beautiful sentence, and I think it's cool that Gatsby's the main character and barely in the book, but it really just didn't do much for me overall.
