I'm still a newbie to reading. So I'm reading all kinds of classics and stuff. After finishing the long-ass Invisible Man which was great, I decided to read some shorter novels for a while. My first target was The Great Gatsby which was laying in my school library. Considering many claim it's similar to The Catcher In The Rye. After finishing it, I found it more Of Mice and Men, because of the ending. But as a whole, it was a damn good novel and story. The story revolves around Jay Gatsby. However, it is told from the eyes of a guy called Nick Carraway. The truth is Nick isn't much of a character, and doesn't do much. He won't tell you about himself either. You probably know the narrators of Invisible Man or Fight Club better. Either way, Nick goes to New York and live in a place called West Egg (There's also an East Egg nearby). Right next door to him lives this Jay Gatsby guy, who throws great parties where random people who don't know how this Gatsby even looks step in freely. It is later discovered that Gatsby had an affair with Nick's cousine, Daisy. After that, it's a downward spiral where not many good things happen. Something feels a little strange in The Great Gatsby. It tries to be another cynical and no-hope novel like As I Lay Dying. The problem is, it just doesn't feel like that. I understand it's supposed to show the dark side of the high-class people. However, because the narrative is not judgemental, and the story is mostly told as a third-person narration could tell it, it feels like an ordinary story. You can tell when it gets darker. The right atmosphere in the end comes. But let's say I wouldn't put it next to more "shocking" stuff. Oh wait, I guess that's why I found it in my school library. Is The Great Gatsby a classic many people claim it is? In my book, it isn't. But hey, how many novels will I read and claim they are classics? Despite the fact it isn't a classic for me, I can't say it's overrated. After all, I really did like this book. It didn't really bore me. The plot fitted greatly on the short number of pages and Gatsby is a great tragic hero. Read The Great Gatsby if you'r in need of a short novel. The language is pretty high though. This isn't really Catcher In The Rye.
