The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
I do not know how I got to be 53 never having read "The Great American Novel", but indeed I waited too long! I enjoyed the telling of the story. I listened on audio (as I do most books during my commute to and from work), and I felt that I was sitting in the parlor of an acquaintance, listening as he told me a story of a man he once knew and a time that is past.
The story itself was not the remarkable part, it was the telling, the recalling of events, places, weather expressions, emotions and the view of this third person.. The story is told from the point of view of a person involved in the drama ~ yet somehow removed in a way that he is simply a keen observer to all that goes on.
