The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

   It's probably dangerous to judge a book so widely considered a classic but I've always been of the opinion that if you don't like something, you don't like it and popular opinion should only be used as a guideline. Not that I didn't like it; it's just not going onto my favorites list and I'm not going to go into as much detail as I normally do.
   Ok, so it's hard to appreciate a book named after a character the narrator himself "never approved of". Every character other then the narrator was selfish or an idiot or a liar and basically everyone had an affair. On the other hand, this book did a great job showing the carefree, idyllic attitude everyone claims is indicative of the roaring twenties. The ending is just slightly depressing, that's all.
   Good Stuff (I will alternate between a section called good stuff or bad stuff depending on what I talk about early in the post): It wasn't too difficult of a reading. The characters were all believable. Also, the movie didn't ruin it for me and I did enjoy reading it.

   Overall Rating: Ok to Pretty Good
   Read this again? Probably not, but it's possible
   Should you read this book? Yes. People will apparently be disappointed in you if you don't. Yes, I am referring to you, R.U.
