Actual Rating: 4.5I actually really liked the Great Gatsby! This was really good because the last classic I read, [b:The Scarlet Letter 12296 The Scarlet Letter Nathaniel Hawthorne https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1404810944s/12296.jpg 4925227], I hated with every fiber of my being (except Hawthorne's prose itself- it was lovely). I was worried about this because of that bad experience, but really, I shouldn't have worried.The plot of the novel is so original. It gives such a great insight into the Roaring Twenties, even if it did bring me back to AP US History. I also loved all the characters- except for Daisy, I hated that chick- and I thought they were all interesting and warped in their own ways.I really wish I could write more because I enjoyed this book, but it's been so long since I've read it that I don't want to mistakenly give any spoilers away! I certainly recommend it though. :)
