I first read this book in my highschool English class. I remember enjoying, but since it was for school I was more concerned with getting a good grade than really delving beep into it.
I always knew that I wanted to go back to it, away from the pressure of a good grade. Now I remember why everyone loves this book, and why it is taught so often in schools... And that's because it's bloody brilliant!!

I clearly needed a reread of this classic because the first time I didn't quite appreciate its greatness. However, I'm rather pleased to see that my assessment of the whole affair is still right: Jay Gatsby should've dumped that empty-headed little chit Daisy into the bay and rode away into the sunset with a gorgeous woman by his side on his yellow sports car, preferably running over Tom's evil hide in the process.

I received an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Update Nov, 2019: Well, I knew I would like this better when I *finally* got around to reading it again.

Let's just call this a "need to reread" book. I remember thinking it was just okay when I read it. But then, that was back in high school when the teachers made us pull it part and dissect the language. I was bound to hate it. And everyone seems to love Gatsby, so hopefully a revisit will help me see why.
