Everyone in this book except for Nick are horrible people and I love seeing horrible people do their horrible lives.

The only fade away in the book is when Nick decides to spend personal time with a male photographer who “shows him his work”. I think they were doing something more than that Mr. Fitzgerald.

Half a star taken away from this masterpiece for the jarring and horrible racial slurs and sexism that cropped up on occasion.

I found this book to be incredibly boring. I know this is considered a classic but I just could not get in to it. Some parts had beautiful writing but overall it was a snooze fest for me.
