my class just finished it and its not exactly bad but its just kinda ok. There's a ton of details which i think is why so many people like it. that attributes to how many symbols there are in the book. like there are A LOT of symbols its insane idk how to keep track

but eh its an ok book i guess

i dont like the amount of detail, its too much for me
and the symbols its overdone

"the book was meh but the movie was amazing literally the movie was so great i loved the movie literally leonardo is amazing how didn't he win a thing idk"

i havent seen the movie yet but we're watching it and having a gatsby themed party to go along so im excited for that

omg we had a party to we got to dress up in 1920's clothes

i think that's why i liked it so much is cause there was a lot of stuff that you can do to go along with the book

Keep in mind who the intended audience probably was, and also when it was written. I mean, TS Elliot is a very famous and beloved poet, but I'm not making heads or tails of his stuff trying to read it. So I just chalk it up to it not really being my kind of thing and move on.

It's certainly a book that needs to be excavated a bit to be interesting. You need to be able to read between the lines and notice the symbols and allusions throughout the book.

the movie was garbage
why would you juxtapose dubstep into a film about taking place in the 1920s
a time that was already richly populated with it's own music

Daisy is Alice Cullen
Jay is Jaba the Hutt
Nick is YGBF aka Your G@y Best Friend

I skimmed through it, it was okay for a story but nothing very interesting. Although mr/ms moderator on this thread made a fair point.

tbh i dont think old timey music would have fit with baz luhrmann's sharp, fast direction style

it didnt really work in the mia farrow snorefest why would it work for baz's??????????????????????
