Conferma quello che ho pensato quando ho letto Il Grande Gatsby: Io e Fitzgerald non siamo compatibili. Forse è troppo americano per me, ed è un peccato perché ha una prosa magnifica, ma mi annoia e innervosisce.

It kind of dragged for me honestly, I really enjoyed The Great Gatsby so I wanted to like it, but it just kind of bored me and none of the characters felt particularly engaging.

Writing: 4.25⭐️/5

A well-crafted, well-controlled novel. Fitzgerald is a master of prose when it comes to pairing life’s finest luxuries with those who least deserve it. At many intervals, I thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of the writing. At a few moments, the writing seemed to hold the plot back a bit, adding little to the story or character, and seemed to exist to be beautiful without substance. Overall, a fine read.

Characters: 4.25⭐️/5

The characters in this novel are not all (or always) good or moral people. But they are fascinating. I thought Dick Diver was missing a little something – substance, motive, characterization – and yet he was still interesting to read. Nicole Diver was a fascinating creature, as was Rosemary. Both women were deeply described and written with good depth. I think I also would have loved a bit extra from Nicole’s family, to fully understand both Nicole and Dick’s turmoil and relationship.

Plot: 4⭐️/5

The plot is really there to support the characters, and yet I still wish a little more occurred throughout the novel. Don’t get me wrong, the writing and characters made up for the lack of plot, but I would’ve loved the drama that followed Rosemary at the beginning to weave thoroughly throughout the novel. Instead, it disappeared, and the characters took the main stage.

Who Should Read This Book?
