Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I grew up hearing about The Great Gatsby but somehow never had to read it in any English course. I finally read it after college and am confused as to why it's a classic. It's an easy read, that's about the only positive thing I can say about it. I once saw a tweet saying something along the lines of, "I have to assume that anyone who has a Great Gatsby themed party never finished the book." It still makes me chuckle. It's an awful and depressing story with no redeeming qualities. And don't forget the drunk driving! Pfft.
