Kelly Renée's Reviews > The Great Gatsby

You know a book is bad when you're glad the main character dies. One of the worst books I've read. I felt like there wasn't much of a plot, and Fitzgerald took up five pages just to describe the dirt the character was standing on. To understand what's happening in the book, you really need to focus hard otherwise nothing makes sense. Not to mention the characters are all really impassive and seem to be lying and keeping secrets. I just couldn't relate to them and bring myself to like any of them. The narrator was as dull as a doornail and didn't have his own opinions. The Great Gatsby is a terrible book that doesn't surprise me as to why it never had good sales in the first place.
