Not sure why everybody loves this book and why it's considered a classic, I found it to be dull and not a particularly view of the 1920's. I didn't like any of the characters, they fell very flat and not well developed. Maybe if the book was longer a bit more time could have been spent making the book so that I would like it.

Highlight of the book for me (and why it gets a 2star rating) was when the obviously drunk driver, hits a wall and rips the wheel off the car, people gather round to see what is up when the driver finally gets out of the car and comments that he didn't notice that they had stopped. Had me laughing.
