Almost every list of 100 books or 50 books or even 20 books to read before you die lists 'The Great Gatsby'. Apparently it's a must read because of whatever reasons that maybe Americans don't know much about good literature.
There's nothing remotely great, nor good about this book. It's boring, the language isn't all that, the characters are meh, plot is whatever and there's not a single shot of enlightening 'whoah' that might ever emit out your mouth while reading this piece of fiction.
In fact Baz Luhrman's movie was a hundred times better than the book. One of those instances where the movie is better than the book.
