Forgive me, I forgot to factor in taste. Unfortunately it seems we both have.

(Most of) the characters of The Great Gatsby are purposefully 2D and intentionally hollow. It's sort of a scathing critique of the Paris Hiltons and Lindsey Lohans of the 1920s (I hope Fitzgerald forgives me for that comparison).

I found the novel endlessly captivating and atmospheric, as have numerous critics for the better part of a century.

To each his own. Art will always be subjective. And self-proclaimed critics who attempt to slam said art will always be bitchy.
