crazy book awsome book great for a movie and book, and TV show there just so much drama JUST MORE AND MORE iam not done with it yet but its totally awsome!
The Great Gatsby
I actually hated the book, i still will read it again since its so critically acclaimed, but F. Scott. Fitzgerald was a drunken fool his whole life and i think that transcends into his literature. The plot was boring, the person who tells the story, nick, seems like an empty shell(no pun intended) and Gatsby is just a straight up fool. He should have stuck with doing short stories like the Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Like i said, i should give the book another chance, but i really dont think it will change my mind at all..
I was never a big fan, but I guess it was okay. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, though... I can't say much about the actual text, but I thought the movie was shockingly terrible, though most of my criticism of the film has to do with the stupid story, not so much the movie aspects.

Had to read it for my American Lit. class last month. Alright book. Probably won't read it again though.
Oh the movie was awful, it was forrest gump backwards. The short story is entirely different and good, the only similarity is that they both age backwards. If you ever need to kill 30 or so mins give it a read." I was never a big fan, but I guess it was okay. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, though...

" @TheGreatGuero said:Honestly, I think that's insulting to Forrest Gump. Yeah, I read about the similarities, but Forrest Gump's one of my favorite movies, and I think Forrest Gump is one heck of a character. Benjamin Button wasn't even an interesting guy. Just your average joe, kind of a scumbag, nothing great about him, and he ages backwards. I didn't care for the guy at all, felt no sympathy for him, was never cheering for him. He simply just didn't mean anything to me. Whereas Forrest Gump is like totally my idol. For the love of God, he beats the crap out of a guy while holding a box of chocolates! What's not to love?!?!"

Well I actually really liked the book, it's totally my cup of milkshake.
