I thought I was downloading the audio book, but it turned out to be a Radio Play instead. Disorienting to start with, I discovered that I can't distinguish voices :(, but I eased into it after a while and it became enjoyable. 
 What was also distracting, was the fact that I watched the movie first and I kept imagining the scenes playing out, trying to find discrepancies. 
 I don't understand why this is a classic? It's a good book with a solid plot, but why a classic? What is it about this particular book that makes it stand out? In fact, why are any of the classics given that honor? Who decides? is there like a board of Classic Experts that get together and vote? Or is it simply books that were popular in their era. What would count as a classic in this day and age? I just feel that the only reason anyone still reads those books is because someone decided to create a list called "Classics" and decided that you're not an avid reader if you haven't read those books. Does anyone actually enjoy reading them? The only "Classics" I feel pleasure at reading are Austen's novels. 
 Anyway, this book gets a 4 because it is undeniably well written, albeit extremely awkward, and because it showed people as the shits they are. No happy ending here. Everyone is a shit face, except for Nick who is such an endearing author. Poor Gatsby.
