One of those books you have to read, given that it forms part of the canon for American high school English classes and is considered to be one of the Great American Novel(la). Two days after I've put the book down, I still can't quite pin down how I feel about the book. Nick the narrator isn't the most appealing of characters - nor are the other characters in the novel - Tom, Daisy, Gatsby, Jordan etc - for that matter. At best, they inspire pity. But the Great Gatsby does tackle some interesting themes - the hollowness and illusory nature of the American Dream, the various manifestations of desire, etc.
