You must of had a retarded school system to have something as simple as The Great Gatsby to be in an AP lit class.

My friends in regular classes read The Great Gatsby, their test scores were pretty high apparently.

Anyway, to the book itself. It's alright!

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 20 13:04:00 2010 No.1296682 Brilliantly written.

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 20 13:06:00 2010 No.1296684 I didn't read Gatsby when I was in high school, I ended up reading Shane and Of Mice and Men.

good book. like catcher in the rye, i had to read it in 7th grade. unlike catcher in the rye, i found each re-reading of gatsby to be more pleasurable than the last. the crack-up is good too...and, for the record, i am one of those nuts who believes that zelda was f.scott, at least the writing part. then again, i also believe bacon to be shakespeare.

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 20 13:35:00 2010 No.1296738 It's good, I think. A classic, to be sure. Though I preferred Tender is the Night.

>>	sage Sat Nov 20 14:17:00 2010 No.1296864 entry level sage for lame book

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 20 14:23:00 2010 No.1296878 >>1296736 Have you read her book, Save Me the Waltz? It's pretty awful.
