The 1925 classic by F. Scott Fitzgerald has landed among the most “disappointing” books on Goodreads, according to a long-running list that highlights titles readers felt didn’t live up to the hype.
This sentiment may come as a surprise given The Great Gatsby’s towering reputation, best-selling status, and overwhelming popularity. Many people list the book as their favorite of all time.
Through its depiction of wealth, excess and illusion, the book has long been praised for its sharp critique of the American Dream. Over the decades, it has become a staple of high school and college curriculum and is frequently cited as a defining work of 20th-century American literature.
There have also been multiple film adaptations, starting with the now-lost 1926 silent film. Other films followed in 1949, 1974, and 2000, while a loose adaptation named G came out in 2002.
But as the Goodreads list suggests, not every reader connects with the classic story in the same way. Some readers took issue with the book’s pacing or style, while others felt the story didn't live up to the cultural hype surrounding it.
