Minus the last chapter and all the personal anecdotes in it, I loved reading this. Now I need to reread Gatsby.
I disliked Gatsby when I read it in high school, but recently reread it (last 2-3 years). It's a book that requires some more life experience and some experience with regret and choice. I enjoyed Corrigan's approach to this book - well-researched but not overly erudite.
A thick stew filled with lots and lots of stuff about The Great Gatsby and its author. Dense and somewhat meandering but interesting none the less.
