I wasn't too big a fan of the movie, so I'm not surprised that I'm not really a fan of the book. I just think Gatsby and Daisy are such horrible characters, and it was hard to sympathize with them. I think Gatsby was a little too obsessed with Daisy, and I really just hate Daisy with a passion all together. Nick wasn't too bad of a character, but the way he went about "I don't judge people" made it harder to like him because it's simply not realistic. And if he was in the habit of judging people at least a little bit, I feel like he could have been a little honest about how ridiculous the relationship between Daisy and Gatsby was, and then maybe all the drama could have been avoided (even though there wouldn't really be a story to read if that were the case). I'm trying to become or more well-rounded reader, which means I need to be able to stick some classics under my belt. It just so happened that this wasn't the classic for me.
