A great supplement to the novel that not only serves to explain, but also as a springboard for critical thinking beyond even the discussion within. My only complaint was they often referenced future events, which gave away some of the story. I would prefer an additional chapter wherein they point-out all these tie-ins amongst chapters.

These were really helpful. There were a couple of scenes I didn't understand in the novel and this helped me deepen my understanding of the characters and themes in the book. These are the only CliffsNotes I have ever read.

Similar to Sparknotes, but it has more useful resources.
This booklet gives the summary and analysis of each chapter and also defines several vocabulary words that many high school students would not know. It also has a description of the characters plus a major analytical paragraph or two on the major characters. The booklet also has sources to test your knowledge and understanding of the book with questions asking you to identify quotes from the book and answer the questions by filling in the blank.
Extremely useful source for those who are reading The Great Gatsby in class. I definitely recommend it.

Good overview of great Gatsby
The Cliff Notes provide a good overview and summation of the great Gatsby. The essays are well written and thoughtful, although there could be a few more of them. The skim the surface but do not provide an in-depth analysis.

It was very helpful but included a lot of spoilers in the earlier chapters, which ruined parts of the book for me
