forget the potatoes

One of the classics- THe GREAT GATSPY!!! Wow, I just finished the book for the first time, one that I actually liked. Unlike everyone else, I was neglected and didn't get to read the book through highschool. Therefore the past two nights of my life, I've been furiously reading to get it finished for our class on Thursday and TEST! I found the part at the end was built up throughout the book so much, and very mysterious, so I think it was expected. I found the book rather easy to read in the aspects of interest. Other than interest, Fitzgerald has a funny way of writing. He beats around the bush and isn't straight to the point. I'm the kind of person that needs the facts and then alittle fancy on the edges. Basically just give me the meat and forget the potatoes. Straight to the point, is my way to go, and Fitzgerald has other plans for the readers. Although, I enjoyed the book, with my first experience of it, and I'm sure I will read it again in the future.
