I’m glad I finally read this book—it was long overdue and I can see the appeal of teaching this book in a classroom setting what with the potential for conversations about social boundaries, love triangles and intrigue.
Very good story. And a fast read.

I have "read" this book twice--once in high school and once in college and to this day have such a strong distaste for it. Perhaps in another 10 years or so I will try to stomach it again.

I read this book in high school, along with probably everyone else, but wanted to revisit it. I remember enjoying it, thinking it a quick read, which wasn't always the case back then. It still is a quick read, but a very enjoyable one. I read somewhere that Gatsby is like finding out that your favorite neighbor is a major drug dealer. How true!

I really wish that I had read this in high school like everyone else. Darn my all-girls prep boarding school and its singular emphasis in British Lit (that I had to read all over again in college, btw). I adored this book. So romantic and fun. Gatsby's parties are awesome to read about. Looking forward to the new movie whe it is released.

Re-read before seeing the new movie and reading all the books that are out now about the Fitzgeralds. I read this in high school and didn't remember much about it, so this was like a fresh read.
