We were assigned this book in our English class, and I can confidently say this is the most un thought through book I have ever read. This reminds of when you randomly write in your journal without any sense of direction or purpose. Holden has no drive to accomplish anything in his life, however complains the whole book and must have mentioned at least 35 times how depressed he feels. Maybe he wouldn't feel all that depressed if he didn't fail out of 3 schools. You'd think he'd learn after the second one, but nope, on to the third. The book has an unfinished ending, and randomly has a pedophile scene which contributes nothing to the plot. Do not voluntarily read this book

Avoid this book. I was assigned this in my English class this year so I was pretty much forced to read this. This book is terrible, and the author, Fitzgerald, over complicates passages with unnecessary words in attempt to make it "deep". People who like the book will call this "immense detail", but it really just makes the book harder to read. I wonder if Fitzgerald has ever heard the saying "Less is more". When the book doesn't drone on over complex passages, We get to learn about Gatsby, who is simply a loser. Gatsby gets this image in his head that because Daisy used to like him, she still does, even though she is married. Spoiler alert Gatsby tells Daisy that he'll take the blame of the death of Wilson which just shows how much of a bum he is. While there were a couple "readable" chapters, the amount of excessive chatter doesn't make up for it. If you have free time and you are deciding what to do, I recommend you don't touch this book.
