"I found myself on Gatsby's side, and alone."

A high school novel returns from my past and my enjoyment of it this time around grew considerably. I almost wish I had a writing assignment on this book so I could defend Gatsby or articulate how we're "boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past".

With that said, I have difficulty reviewing "Great Novels" because everything that can be said on them has. The Great Gatsby is like a quiet summer daydream with days that flow together and they are filed with carefree and irresponsible memories. Then in one night the dream is ruined because of pride, ambitions and revenge.

If you read this in school or not it commands to be read again. Even though I was motivated to reread this because of the 2013 adaptation I still enjoyed the story a lot and the lavish parties that Gatsby throws will look incredible through Buz Lahrman's vision.
