Much better reviews have been posted here so I won't really try. All I can say is that I read this book in 11th grade for english class and actually enjoyed it. That is truly saying something. To get me to read a book for class was one thing, but to enjoy and actually have opinions on it was an out of this world phenomena only to be repeated once afterwards by To Kill a Mockingbird. 
 I thoroughly enjoyed the setting of the Roaring Twenties and in the beginning, I felt like I really wanted to be at one of those parties. Ok yeah, its a good love story too with interesting twists in the end. Some of the book felt fake and a touch ridiculous, but so what? I don't want to be bored with real life so why not get immersed in something over the top sometimes. 
 I really with all my heart and soul do not understand how this book has this low of a rating that it does on goodreads. It must be one of those love 'em or hate'em books like The Catcher in the Rye. But to me, there isn't really anything a person can say that will every take away the love and enjoyment I get from reading this book, and that's the most important thing.
