These Connell books are genuinely very helpful, and actually give a decent picture of critical reception of the book rather than simply recounting the plot like some "guides" do. Very accessible and interesting just wish there was better referencing.

An interesting little guide to the Great Gatsby, which included lots contextual information on Fitzgerald as well as his characters. Although as it was only a short overview, it did not include as much analysis of the text as is necessary for an exam, but it’s not bad for last minute cramming.

Some interesting content for sure, but nothing deep enough to really make you think. A good starting place for those studying TGG but not advanced enough for higher level study in my opinion. I had a copy full of typos too, even in very obvious titles. Not. Cool.
