Mostly boring

This book is quite dull. It is mostly filler until closer to the end of the book, on the hottest day of the summer. The characters feel a bit uninteresting, and do not develop throughout the story. This leads me to wonder why this book is a ‘successful classic'. There's just not much to say about it. Here's a synopsis below:
Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby run over Mr.Wilson's wife (Tom Buchanan's mistress) and Mr.Wilson kills Jay Gatsby and himself.
Nick Carraway (the narrator) only acts as a narrator and is merely a bystander in the whole ideal.

Well, there you have it. The Great Gatsby.
