The best part is the descriptive writing. Really gorgeous imagery. Except, I'd say it's excessive. Imagery should be there to emphasise and flavour a scene. So when there's nothing happening, it's pretty useless. Once again, I just think more should be happening. I mean, everything before the party could have been cut out completely, except the tiny scene of seeing Gatsby for the first time.

The first few paragraphs were so hard to understand they made my head spin. But after that, the writing became MUCH easier to read. So that's good.
