This was lovely! I enjoyed the discussion, especially when it brought up the theory of Nick Carraway being gay, which I agree! It could be so interesting to learn about other's opinionions on this topic since it's a very important element of the book. I think this question could start up a discussion between readers, which is always great. I loved the inclusion of fascinating facts about the author and the book - it adds a nice touch!

Nicely done! I have read Gatsby multiple times and have taken quite a few literature classes on it as well, yet I still found out a few "new" interesting tidbits about the book and about Fitzgerald by reading your guide. The discussion questions are excellent, and what a nice bonus to read different book reviews that have been written over the years. Thank you very much for this nice companion to this classic American novel!

Fantastic kit for use in book club meetings. We struggle with discussing the book (we usually say a few worked about it and then start chatting about anything in general) and this will help us to stay on track

This kit has been truly amazing for a fantastic book. It is thought-provoking, a good conversation starter, and gives really good insight!

Unfortunately this is a book that I read in highschool and tried again as an adult and I think I disliked it more the second time around. It is a very overrated story and I have not understood the hype over it for the last few years and it also being claimed as " The Great American Novel".

The story is very bland and boring with nothing really happening much except a lot of dialog until one of the last chapters. While I did like the setting in the roaring 20s, Fitzgerald did not enthrall me enough throughout the story to keep me engaged completely and it took me out of the book. The characters minus Gatzby, were also very dull and had little personality to them.

Thank you Penguin Random House Library Resources! I love the “fascinating facts” section in addition to the questions for discussion.

I'm planning to do a book club soon and I chose this book to start it. The kit will help me a lot and the questions are interesting. It's going to help the discussions a lot.

This Book Club Kit contains discussion questions and facts to accompany a book club meeting on The Great Gatsby. I really liked the formatting and colours used in this kit as it went with the art deco, 1920s theme of the book. The discussion questions would spark interesting conversations surrounding the book and there are plenty of questions included. I thought the facts were interesting and I definitely learnt some new things about F.Scott Fitzgerald and The Great Gatsby.

I wish this kit contained more content and some more interactive elements for example it could've been fun to include some ideas for recipes, costumes or music to fit the 1920s theme. I would be concerned that by following the questions in the kit and reading the facts a book club meeting could become quite dull.

Ok book club kit. I really enjoyed the thoughtful questions and how they were atypical of what you might normally ask. They were poignant and got you thinking outside the box. I also particularly enjoyed the fascinating facts…I love a good fact!

What this kit could use:
In other book club kits I’ve used, they include fun bookmarks or even some food and beverage pairings. Having a more robust kit just adds to the overall book club experience.

I really liked this. My book club is reading this book now and we have a meeting later this week and I'm so happy I stumbled across this so that we can use it in book club and talk about it. I love that it has extra things about the book and from the author

This wasn't as useful due to the bad formatting on my Kindle. I did appreciate the fascinating facts portion of the guide. I really do appreciate these guides on netgalley.

I really love this classic. I find it very easy to read, not like most where you really need to interpret the writing. Also the movie is just fantastic

This was an interesting Book Club Kit to read since it was the first I've looked at for an author who isn't currently alive and therefore contains no direct author related questions/input for a book club to think about. Even without anything author prompted, the questions listed provide some great discussion over some Classic Literature and history of the US for when The Great Gatsby initially came out.

This is widely available online--I had hoped to be able to find something new. The kit provided a few useful fun facts but it was not not very substantive overall.

Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Random House Library Resources!

The Great Gatsby is one of my favorite books that I had to read in school. Great book club questions! This is a must have if you are reading this book and love questions that will get your book club rolling. This book club kit includes a copy of the novel along with thought provoking questions and interesting facts that will be fun to talk about and dive into. .

This resource will be perfect for when our Book Club discusses F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic work!

Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the ARC.

Opinions are mine.

Let’s face it The Great Gatsby, while a classic, is real hit or miss for most. This guide though, gives you discussion questions to dive a little deeper, quotes on the impact of the book during different times from different people, and fun facts. It will definitely spark a discussion with people around you, and engage further with the text.

This is my first time using a book club guide/resource packet like this, and I think it will be helpful! While it felt a bit concise, I think it’s the right length to spark enough conversation for a book club. I don’t necessarily think the praise for the book adds value to the kit.
