I like the Great Gatsby, as I've had to study and teach it so I've explored it a great deal. I don't know if I would call it great literature, though. Years ago I had to teach some of his short stories and I have to say I was left unimpressed. Usually I think he just overwrites, so it's interesting to hear that you thought this one was pedestrian.

I have only read the Great Gatsby and loved its slow, going nowhere narrative but if all his books are similar I can see it wouldn't suit me. Wonderful original illustrations, perfectly coloured and I like the torn paper background. Had you thought of just posting a lovely photograph of Brad Pitt. I would have been very happy with that!! <br /><br />Janet xx Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09570385780009481558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218345118315220948.post-91479908131267172722013-08-30T14:25:31.123+01:002013-08-30T14:25:31.123+01:00Great illustrations.
