Deja Vu All Over Again
My daughter's AP English teacher assigned Gatsby to her as a summer reading project. I read it along with her and now, thirty years after my frst read, am struck by how this book's greatness. Change a few details in the story and it could be describing 2008 as much as 1923. We see these...

Another horrible classic forced upon America's youth
I found the whole book vastly dull and quite creepy, Gatsby's obsession with the vapid Daisy just doesn't make for that great of a read. All he does is obsess over the vile woman Daisy, I could have cared less about any of these shallow characters.I love to read, I mean reading is my first love,...

One of my fave's
The Great Gatsby was my favorite book before I read Life of Pi by Yann Martel, but it still is one of my faves. I love the tale of Daisy Buchanan and her love for the young James Gatz, before he became Jay Gatsby, the lonlely beyond-rich aristocrat who lives nexxt door to Daisy's cousin, Nick...

Much better than I remember
I know I had to read the Great Gatsby when I was in high school. I dont remember enjoying the book, in fact I couldnt even tell you exactly what it was about till now. This time around I really loved it. The Great Gatsby is a story told by Nick, about his neighbor, Jay Gatsby. Gatsby appears...

The tragedy of a life unfulfilled, unloved and ultimately unlived!
"The Great Gatsby" is a sad book. But perhaps the saddest thing of all is that F Scott Fitzgerald's tragic, moving portrayal of the American Dream demonstrates that the typical American's pre-occupation with the yearning for wealth, class and an easier life can ultimately be so empty, so...

so so
I really tried to like this book more because it does occassionally work. Unfortunately, it just didn't grab me. The only things I really liked about it were the period elements. It does seem to capture the legend and mythology surrounding the 1920's. But, in the end, I didn't really care much...

The not so Great Gatsby
The MarginI have to say Gatsby, by Fitzgerald was another classic disappointment. Like Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, both drew world-wide acclaim, but for me neither went anywhere. That is to say there was an absence of substance. Another tale by a sad author about pathetic rich folk in the...

What Can I Add?
This book has over 1000 reviews. There is, essentially, nothing that I can say that has not already been said.The novel is nice, well-written, and an enjoyable read. The characters are all plausible, believable, and entertaining. They are all three-dimensional, and none of them are useless. The...

As American as apple pie...
This is absolutely my favorite novel of all time. No matter how many times I go back and re-read this book (that I was first introduced to as a sophomore in high school), it never fails to take me to a different time and place.I love the descriptions of the lazy and decadent ways of these...

The Summer of '22
Aside from the narrator, Mr. Carroway, who chances to be Gatsby's perceptive neighbor, we are the only ones who ever come to know the man. Everyone else sees only a fragment of him... if that. And he is far from what he appears to be. We ultimately know him as delusional, obsessive, pitiable,...
