The Great Gatsby

I did not like this book because it was too much of a soap opera. the plot and the characters were so far out there that i could not relate to either. Nothing was believable from this book. Daisy was so stupid and air-headed that i do not know why anyone would like her; let alone two guys. I hope people did not act like her or any of the other characters in that time. Tom was so rude and selfish that he went in the middle of dinner to talk to his mistress on the phone. Everyone was constantly drinking and no one was ever afraid of getting caught. Gatsby is the only person in the book who puts someone before himself. In the beginning of the book i thought this was selfish just because he likes the way Daisy made him feel or something, but in the end he says he will take the fall for hitting Tom's mistress when in no way could he get something good for doing so. I disliked every character in the book and they were so unbelievable that it made it hard for me to read the book because i did not want to hear anymore about the atrocious characters.
