The Great Gatsby by F. Scott FitzgeraldMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Great Gatsby is a classic literary masterpiece narrated by a young man, Nick Carraway, as he leaves the sleepy west to try to make a name and a living for himself in New York in the roaring 1920's. Along the way, Nick tells a web of a tale involving his cousin, Daisy, her brute of a husband, Tom, and a mysterious wealthy man who is known as Jay Gatsby.
The Great Gatsby offers a very vivid glimpse into New York society at a very wild time in America's history. The story of Gatsby and Daisy and Tom and their friends and lovers is at once fascinating and saddening. The Great Gatsby also does a phenomenal job illustrating the old adage "money cannot buy happiness."
The Great Gatsby is a very quick read by a brilliant writer. I recommend it to everyone!
