Whoa. We've entered a world where Gatsby and Tom and Daisy actually existed. This threw me for a loop for a second, then I went with it, to see what became of their offspring. Actually the story revolves around a modern day young woman who is obsessed with uncovering the mystery of Tom and Daisy's grandson. Usually I go for character-driven stories over plot-driven, but my friend recommended this, probably because of the Great Gatsby tie-in, and I enjoyed it. It was a good page-turner. The only thing that kind of annoyed me was the formal tone of the book. The word "precisely" was used like fifty times and irritated me more each time. The author, Bojanglesan, is not English, is he? The book jacket says he lives in Vermont, which is where most of this story takes place. Do they speak really formally there? I don't know; I've never been to New England.
