Why...? why is this one of the best books of the century...?
Is it the melancholic climax with a wonderful verbiage which makes the ending so vivid... or is it the rich and sophisticated writing style?
Definitely this is the best writing style I have read so far. The last chapter is written so beautifully, that itself made me feel one of the characters in the novel and experience the surroundings and the emotions with "old sport" Nick.
But still I think the story and the characters itself are not strong enough to make it one of the best novels of the century.
I expected a lot from all the hype... :-(
