The only problem I had about this book is that I wanted it to be longer. :)
Good start to 2016. Finished in one quick burst and one (not too long) marathon. I last reread Gatsby in 2011, and this is just the right amount of faithful. Also, how can you spoil something based on The Great Gatsby? But I will say nearly a century later that more than ever, it reads like the coward's way out.
Fun, fluffy little read. Sometimes the references back to Gatsby were clever - the "green light" is now a laptop charger - and sometimes they felt lazy. The hit-and-run from the original is pretty much rewritten scene for scene in this book.
