By the way, do not reveal anything about the plot please! I haven't finished reading. However, please feel free to give me a rating of how much you liked the book from 1-10

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The Great Gatsby is a classical novel. and classical novels are not just one thing. So if this novel has more than two labels that doesnt suprise me. In fact i've just added a third. Classical novels are classical because they have more than one layer. Always remember this.
I read this book over thanksgiving break..it was ok id give it a 6. I felt very sad at the end when someone dies. I'm not telling you who though. hahaha.
