The language is devine! I read this as part of my A Level Literature and it was a joy because of the language, the era and the discussions this book brings up. A beautiful classic.
The language in The Great Gatsby is often exquisite as is some of the imagery but for such a short book it still takes an awfully long time for something to happen. It has a strange dream like quality to it and I felt the need to read 'study notes' on it afterwards to try and pin down characterisations. Personally I did like Jay-he seemed a rather bewildered individual who had missed out on his chance of true happiness and the oblique references to his 'dodgy dealings' sort of passed me by. Nick

Es tut mir wirklich sehr leid um dieses Buch, denn ich wollte es wirklich mögen. Ich wollte es lieben und immer und immer wieder lesen. Aber... es hat mir einfach nicht gefallen.
Ich verstehe ja die Geschichte und die Symbole, die Wichtigkeit dieses Werkes. Grünes Licht, Daisy, American Dream gone wrong. Verstehe ich alles, kann ich alles nachvollziehen.
Ist ja an sich auch eine ganz nette Geschichte. Das muss man dem Buch ja auch als positiv zuschreiben können.
