Community of Readers

Title The Great Gatsby
Author F. Scott Fitzgerald
Call Number n/a
Location Other
Rating Highly Recommended
Book Review Another classic I wanted to reread, and yet again saw a lot more reading it as an adult. Reading it now I was more struck by how childish and thoughtless the characters were, and how they did not care for the working class at all. Everyone expressed surprise that Nick had to go to work at times, for example. The structure is very beautiful.
