Whereas lots of people are suckers for a happy ending, I'm the opposite. If a book can leave me reeling for days/months/YEARS after reading it, then it's going to be a favorite, hands down. Such an absolutely stunning story and I loved the fact that it was told from the perspective of someone witnes...
Published 89 years ago, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald still creates discussion and controversy for its brilliant depiction of the characters. The enigma of Jay Gatsby remains still today. What does he want from life? Daisy? The self-assurance of those born to wealth? Acceptance? Belief tha...
I just finished The Great Gatsby as it is on my study list for English Literature and I have to say I didn’t like it.

What's the point of another review? There are thousands of them on GR and Amazon. Go knock yourself out. Someone recently remarked that reading was 70% what the reader brings to a book and 30% what the author has written. I'd say Gatsby is more 90/10. I had to read this my junior year in high s...
My opinion about this book is highly ambiguous. I really liked reading it and enjoyed the story but I still feel like I didn't get some important point.Nevertheless, I am looking forward to re-read this book in a few years to renew my opinion.
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is considered one of the greatest American novels of the 20th century. Appropriately, I was assigned to read it for my American Lit. class.
