The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. This exemplary novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when The New York Times noted “gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession,” it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s. The Great Gatsby is one of the great classics of twentieth-century literature.

Reviews In my life, I have read many books; however, none has affected me as much as _The Great Gatsby_. When I read reviews that claim it is over-rated or trivial, I almost take it personally. How can anyone miss the beauty, eloquence, and depth of this novel? Fitzgerald creates some of the most magnificent characters and scenes in the history of literature in this book. Gatsby is the embodiment of the American dreamer. He is so insecure that he shrouds himself in glitter. He wants one thing he can't have so much, he surrounds himself with every other possession. He


finds that getting what you want is often the worst thing possible, and that, to be very cliche but borrow from Fitzgerald's own images in this book--everything that glitters is not gold. The character is classic because a part of him exists in so many people. Daisy and Tom are also classic characters. Haven't we all met this shallow type that takes what it wants at whatever cost and leaves the world to clean up their messes? Sure we may feel sympathy for Daisy in some more tender scenes, but isn't that how people like her get away with hurting others? Finally, Nick is a wonderful character because he is so like the reader. He is the man who can't help but stand on the side of the road watching an imminent disaster. There is little we can do but watch and once it happens, we can't force ourselves to turn away. These characters are incredibly developed, and because they are so universal, so archetypal, we can identify society through them. I have failed to touch on the unity of effect of the novel, the poetic prose, or the incredible theme that permeates the novel, but I hope that readers will find these for themselves. Let Nick take you for a xfat drive through East and West Egg; you won't be sorry you took the trip. ================================================== Anyone that has not read this book is horrible deprived in every way that I can think of. This book has just about everything that one could possibly want in a book. It has romance, wealth, parties, anger, jealousy, revenge, searching. It has it all!! It is the story of a very wealthy group of people in the twenties. One in particular (who is quite mysterious to those around him) is in love with a married woman. She falls in love with him too, when she discovers that he lives very near her. THere is a showdown between Gatsby and Daisy's husband that ends in a very interesting way. There is so much more to this book than just this bit that I have alluded to. There is so much more that to try and write a true review of it would create a whole new book in and of itself. I just hope that some of you out there read this and decide to read it. It is truly one of the best novels ever written!
