once upon a time, i had a very long, very passionate review of this book uploaded, with very long, very passionate pages of comments, and generally it was one of my favorite reviews (and of one of my favorite books) with one of my favorite ensuing discussions.
today i realized goodreads deleted it!

wow tragique. but this is a banger that lives on
This is a crime!! I'm glad to have read it before. Is this something that is becoming more common? Because I've noticed it happening to quite a few of my own reviews too
at least it's on the wayback machine, goodreads wont let me paste the link but type tinyurl dot com slash goodreadswhy
Philistines!This is why I now save my reviews elsewhere as a backup.

i think i have this particular review saved somewhere but it's upsetting to think there might be more that have been inexplicably deleted and i just haven't noticed
i read 100 books last year (which was my goal), only for goodreads to delete one of them and say i read 99. 😭
also, gatsby >>>>>
I spot a need for a cliff notes version of the OG review. You know, for those of us that missed it
I remember using this particular review as an argument in class a few years ago for why Daisy was not as as bad as people thought — annoying that it got deleted. Was it saved elsewhere?

I don't know what's better, the Great Gatsby or your review of the Great Gatsby. :)
I hate to be that guy but . . . I’m here for the review. If you must rewrite it, I am here for that too. Just sayin’.
Oh no! Why does Goodreads do this 😢

That's so sad, they didn't even send you a copy of it before deleting it? I've started saving all my reviews in Word documents in case that ever happens. There's a lot of swearing in my reviews so it just might lol
