The Great Gatsby tops a lot of all-time best fiction lists, and since I've never read it, I felt it was time to read the classics.
Fitzgerald is a talented writer. I found the story to be mildly but not overly interesting. This is one of those books that has it's intrinsic value in style over the message or story. I didn't much develop an affinity for any of the characters, certainly not for the narrator Nick, nor did I see a lot of character development other than maybe Daisy.
It was okay. Not what I would put on a must-read fiction list, but maybe I just don't get it.
