Eh. From a writing standpoint, it's great. The prose is beautiful and the imagery, foreshadowing, etc. are all top notch. The story and characters kind of suck the balls though.

It seems just about every character besides Jordan and Nick were awful in their own way

For class tomorrow I need to explain what Gatsby's dream was

Nick is a dick.

He says something like in the first chapter "I'm the most honest man I know..." etc, and the proceeds to act like a jackass for the rest of the book.

Well yeah but we have to "incorporate the motifs of the green light and time"

I dunno, my brain is fried after finishing that, I'm just sad now

Eh

He is surrounded by fuckheads though. He feels harmless compared to the rest of the cast, mostly awkward

110% gay for McKee

But what did Nick do that was so awful
