Oh, jeez! The woman presents a detailed, and in my view persuasive critique of the work, and what do we have to say to counter her criticisms? “I’ve always liked it” and “hidden communist agenda”?
Full disclosure: I never liked it, never disliked it, never quite understood its appeal, ignored it. But that’s just moi.
ONE THING NO ONE NOTICED:
She doesn't like Gatsby, but she read it 5 times! And twice this year!
If a book can inspire someone who doesn't like it to read it 5 times, I say bravo. I can only say I hope to write something like that.
