The Great Gatsby

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.
