First things first, I have a confession to make: I've never read F. Scott Fitzgerald's seminal book. Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of The Great Gatsby was the first time I'd experienced the whole story.

| I know, right? |
That's not to say I didn't know the narrative or the characters almost intimately. But it's one thing to be told about something, and another to experience it for yourself. And seeing Nick Carraway, Jay Gatsby, and Tom and Daisy Buchanan in glorious 3D was like meeting your friend's friends at an insane party.

For those of you like me who have never read the book, but also missed out on seeing the theatrical release, The Great Gatsby has been released in the last week.
