The Great Gatsby does not deserve the amount of support that it gets
I was surprised just by how many people actually enjoyed this book, almost everyone I know thats read it likes the book. The best part about the book is the message, to not chase glamour, wealth, and whatnot, because you end up like the shells of people that are displayed in the book and the character development, which to be fair, go hand in hand.
But thats it, the book is incredibly boring and long and it just feels painstakingly slow to address this message. To me the ending also felt rushed and just random. Gatsby getting shot just felt completely random and the whole car debacle also just felt poorly written and paced so terribly in comparison to the rest of the book . Yeah thats it
