I could not care less what the message of the book is. Fiction writers are first and foremost crafters and artists of language, not social commentators. Anywho, Fitzgerald's prose flows quite nicely.

What? Dickens, Steinbeck, Tolstoy, Achibe, Toni Morrison were all social commentators as much as wordsmith. Fitzgerald may have been less concerned with commentary than some, but he definitely had a viewpoint.
