THe Great Gatsby

This was the third time I have read The Great Gatsby, and I liked it more this time than ever before. I found so many new things I had not realized before. Reading it through a different lens is like reading a completely different book. I felt like I was reading it for the first time. The first time I ready it, I thought Nick was the good guy, but this time I am not sure how good a guy he really is. I first thought Tom and Gatsby were both just way too into the image, and Tom, into his ego. Now I almost feel sorry for Tom because he is so ignorant, he knows no better. The book really made me think more than it did the first two times.
