An Epic Failure (Recap)

Earlier I made a post about this book called "The Great Gatsby". You can read that here. In that post, I explained and asked the question, "Why do we read a book written by a failure?" After reading the book, I can see he was a success as to why this book is like in the hall of fame for American literature for the 20th century.
At the beginning of the book, for me it was a bit hard to read. I did not understand everything, but around chapter 5, everything started to come together. That is when it became real interesting. I don't know why, but for some reason, this might be one of the best books I have read. I may re-read this. But there are still questions I have, and that is "Why is Gatsby so great?"
