Una de las ventajas de leer los libros es que uno se da cuenta de los detalles que no vienen en la película.

At last I have read all the novels of Fitzgerald and now I can officially say that this novel is my favourite. Yes that is true, many professional literary critics consider it to be the most immature and imperfect work of Fitzgerald, but still I like it and nothing will change my opinion. This n...
