Gatsby.. Not really a review!!

Finished reading 'The Great Gatsby'. It's an interesting story about misplaced priorities of some lives; about a genuine man and the world around him; I can understand why Holden Caulfield must have liked this book. People like Gatsby must have come as a relief for him in the world. Gatsby was not only genuine, he was also careful and focussed. Careful people make sure they don't mess up things too much. Sometimes it's good to be careless at least as long as it doesn't harm anyone around.

That is too a review of sorts. You spoke your viewpoint about what makes the characters in the book so interesting and important and likeable.

:) yeah.. but not really what I'd write in a review.
