The Great Gatsby


F. Scott Fitzgerald


(possibly)



Review By: Shelby


We had to read the book for school. This is a good book, but the characters are kinda unfortunate/snobby rich people. The narrator is a guy named Nick, and he doesn't really have anything to do with anything, but his neighbor is in love with his cousin, who's married. His neighbor, the Great Gatsby, holds all this crazy parties to try to get Daisy's (the cousin) attention. There are themes of contrast like east egg, west egg, poor, rich, old and nouveau riche, bla bla bla.

This would have been better if it were just about Nick and Jordan. They should've... nevermind.

Anyway, the characters in this story are very interesting, and i'm sure the book is interesting too it's just that I didn't LOVE it or anything. Fitzgerald dedicated it to his wife, Zelda. That is so romantic. Ish.
