The start of The Great Gatsby

My first reaction to The Great Gatsby is that it seems very interesting.  It looks like it provides a great view into the life style of people in the 1920's.  I think Nick is a very interesting character and is adjusting well to moving in to a new area.  He is used to a very laid back quiet Minnesota, and now is living in an up beat New York.  I believe Nick does not have a real direction in life and I hope he can find his way.
