I never knew that this story was
originally a short story (1922) written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, but then I am
not an avid reader of the classic genre. I enjoyed the movie (2008) that was adapted
from this story, but this graphic novel is not very satisfactory. Because I have not read Fitzgerald’s short
story, I can only compare it to the movie and judge it by itself. The drawings were mediocre and the story was vague
and boring – there was no climax or the spectacle as in movie; rather just the
undramatic facts. So the most exciting
aspect, for me, was the discovery that Fitzgerald had written a story with such
an intriguing plot back in 1922.
