The Great Gatsby

My bookclub picked this book for our April meeting. I never read The Great Gatsby in high school, so I was looking forward to reading a book that is considered a classic. I didn't really know what Gatsby was about, but I did know that it had been made into a movie with Robert Redford and Mia Farrow. I didn't really know what the movie was about either, having never seen it.

I think this is a book that I just didn't “get”. I really feel I need to read it again as I have no idea how Gatsby ended up dead. I didn't skip any sentences or pages, and I read every word on each page, but I definitely know I missed when and how Gatsby ended up dead.

I didn't like any of the characters, including the narrator. I think I do need to reread this book before writing anymore of a review. I will say I liked that it was a short book.
