2.0 out of 5 stars
A very dull book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Great Gatsby (MCI) (Oop) (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations) (Hardcover)
Reading the Great Gatsby is like trying to follow a soap opera! There are too many people having affairs with others and too many descriptions. Who really cares about what the windows look like?
