    About this ebook

    The Great Gatsby is one of the great classics of twentieth-century literature.
    The story primarily concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his quixotic passion and obsession for the beautiful former debutante Daisy Buchanan. Considered to be Fitzgerald’s magnum opus, The Great Gatsby explores themes of decadence, idealism, resistance to change, social upheaval, and excess, creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream.

      Honestly, where to begin?
      I'm so glad it was short, so, I didn't suffer for long.
      It was dry and pretentious.
      The narrator was nothing but a rag doll, pushed and pulled wherever whenever the story needed building. Homie got literally dragged to meet his cousin's husband's mistress, and, showed 0 emotions, but, on another occasion _I guess the story was falling apart_ lo and behold, the rag doll was capable of having feelings. Boring punk a**, b****.

      I also didn't like the whole atmosphere, I guess I was suppose to say "oh la la look at all the debauchery" ?
      Was I supposed to root for this mentally ill lunatic who's stalking a married woman?!
      I guess if this was a thriller I would totally have a different opinion ? but, unfortunately, no, this is a story about how bitches and "hysterical" _the author's words not mine _women are. How we ruin poor poor men with our hysterical and greedy idiotic ways. ?
    • 5/5
      I can see why this book has become a Great American Novel, short though it is.
      If you want the Real Great American Novel try Mark Twain.
