That extraordinary, beautiful, intricately patterned, and above all, simple novel became The Great Gatsby, arguably Fitzgerald's finest work and certainly the book for which he is best known. A portrait of the Jazz Age in all of its decadence and excess, Gatsby captured the spirit of the author's generation and earned itself a permanent place in American mythology. Self-made, self-invented millionaire Jay Gatsby embodies some of Fitzgerald's--and his country's--most abiding obsessions: money, ambition, greed, and the promise of new beginnings. "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning--" Gatsby's rise to glory and eventual fall from grace becomes a kind of cautionary tale about the American Dream.

It's also a love story, of sorts, the narrative of Gatsby's quixotic passion for Daisy Buchanan. The pair meet five years before the novel begins, when Daisy is a legendary young Louisville beauty and Gatsby an impoverished officer. They fall in love, but while Gatsby serves overseas, Daisy marries the brutal, bullying, but extremely rich Tom Buchanan. After the war, Gatsby devotes himself blindly to the pursuit of wealth by whatever means--and to the pursuit of Daisy, which amounts to the same thing. "Her voice is full of money," Gatsby says admiringly, in one of the novel's more famous descriptions. His millions made, Gatsby buys a mansion across Long Island Sound from Daisy's patrician East Egg address, throws lavish parties, and waits for her to appear. When she does, events unfold with all the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama, with detached, cynical neighbor Nick Carraway acting as chorus throughout. Spare, elegantly plotted, and written in crystalline prose, The Great Gatsby is as perfectly satisfying as the best kind of poem.(less)

This is my least-favorite classic of all time. Probably even my least favorite book, ever.
I didn't have the faintest iota of interest in neither era nor lifestyle of the people in this novela. So why did I read it to begin with? well, because I wanted to give it a chance. I've been surprised by many books, many a times. Thought this could open a new literary door for me.

I tried both as a teenager and as an adult to read this book, but I still don't like it, can't get interested in the characters, and have no desire to re-read the entire thing and put myself through the torture.

I just don't get the hype on this one. Then again, I guess there's a reason why this book was unpopular and forgotten about for the first 20-30 years after it was first published. Personally, it makes no difference to me that this is supposed to be an "important" literary novel, as I like to make those conclusions for myself rather than going with the masses just because it's the masses. I found this book to be quite boring and rather depressing. Thankfully it was a short one day read. I am will...more

Dear Potential Reader,
The Great Gatsby is an okay book about love, hate, friendship,betrayal, symbolism, murder, and money. The book starts off as the narrator, also known as Nick Carraway, moving to a town named West Egg. Nick Carraway is a 1915 Yale Graduate. When Nick moved to West Egg, he made a new friend, named Jay Gatsby. Jay Gatsby is a millionaire that likes to throw parties. He throws great parties every Saturday night that can last until 3 am.
Nick has a married cousin named Daisy. D...more

Halfway through and I don’t even care anymore. I’ll read the synopsis for the rest. If I want to read about shiftless rich people and their drunken machinations, I'll read the Hollywood Reporter or TMZ.

My thoughts?

Characters were less than engaging- I could give two cents for any of them. All right, maybe five cents for Nick Carraway, the narrator, but that's about it. Ultimately, depressing and boring.

DNF

Why this is still required reading, I simply can't fathom...

I have read this at least three times. Once for pleasure and twice for school. All three times I hated it. The symbolism is too obvious and Daisy (isn't that her name) is over the top indulgent and snooty. None of the characters were likable and that ruined the book for me. Their privledged secret world was ridiculous and nothing in that book appealed to me. It is my number one most hated classic book!

Hey I've been reading the Great Gatsby for a while and it is on everyones' top books to read. Well I don't agree that it's that good. I had a hard time reading it and most of the time I skipped over some parts because it was to hard to understand them. The book confused me until I got to the part to where Gatsby got on a rant about how Daisy didn't love her husband and loved him. Then I was able to keep reading to the end where Gatby died on the last chapter. It was a hard book, if...more

I felt I had stepped in something icky and the end of this book. So hyped up as a classic and yet so disappointing. Other than the author's few beautiful lines and how he keeps the story going this book is JUST a compilation of rich people with too much money , too much time and too little scruples.

This book is pointless. Nothing happens in the entire book, the characters just talk, drink, and cheat on each other. I would rather have gotten a root canal then read this book. (It was for class.) Anyway I recommend this book to no one!!!

Edit: Okay, I realize now that this was a really harsh review. I had to read it in high school and was very perturbed about it. I feel bad for ranting on it. I appreciate what this book is and it was very well written, it was just not my cup of tea.

I am astonished that this is considered one of the greatest English-language novels of all time. The nearly universal assessment of "The Great Gatsby" as a "masterpiece" is, to my mind, a clear condemnation of our culture as superficial, hollow, and founded upon the most dubious of values. What does it matter that the author's style and technique are impeccable? What does it matter that language, setting, pace, plot, and symbolism are expertly and intricately woven together?

I keep seeing the trailers for the upcoming film version of "Gatsby" starring Leonardo DiCaprio (whom I really enjoyed in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" and "Catch Me If You Can") and it looks exciting and flashy and I began thinking I would like to see it. My son expressed an interest, too. I suggested we read the book beforehand so we can get a feeling for what to expect. I'm glad I did.

I did read this book some 20-plus years ago when I was in High School, but memory being what it is, I didn't remember much about it. So I went into reading it a mostly blank slate. Be aware there are spoilers in this review. I'm assuming you also had to read it for school.

The book moves along quickly and is compelling enough, I suppose. It's told from the point of view of Nick Carraway, a neighbor-by chance- of the title character. I was struck early on in the story by how bland Carraway's character is. His storytelling is without passion, without emotion and flat.

Which is kind of a problem. Because he is surrounded by the worst of 1920's elitist society, and he appears to be without feeling about it one way or another. He doesn't quite fit in with them, but neither does he feel repelled or bothered by their scandalous behavior. When Tom backhands his mistress and breaks her nose, Carraway describes the event in mild terms and without any reaction or feeling on his part. It's as if he's outside, looking in on the events. And not terribly bothered by any of it. He basically shrugs his shoulders and moves on.

The story is depressing, for various reasons, and the characters have no redeeming qualities. Gatsby is childish, trying to live in a fantasy-land; unable to really see or handle reality. He has no real relationships, he creates himself as a caricature of what he imagines Daisy would like him to be, and ends up lonely and out of touch. He lives in a perpetual daydream. Alone, even when surrounded by others.

Daisy is the epitome self-centered, bourgeois materialism, and even she doesn't know what she wants. Tom represents the worst of masculinity: he's abusive, abrasive, selfish and racist. There are a handful of other minor characters that don't really register as interesting or enticing.

I did not enjoy this story. I was surprised by this-- why are so many students required to read this garbage? The 1920's weren't really like this, for the majority of common Americans. It does give a little insight into the world of the ultra-rich and corrupt at the time, I suppose. Maybe there's some value in that, but it's so dumb and the characters are so limited and bland and the story left me feeling depressed and annoyed. I don't think I've ever read anything else by Fitzgerald, but I don't see myself seeking him out again.

Maybe my problem is that I'm spoiled on the modern character-driven, emotive writing, on books that make my heart pound and my mind race and that include characters I love or love to hate. Or maybe some books that are considered "classics" are really just crap. I also hated "Great Expectations" by Dickens. But there are others I love. "The Scarlet Letter", "Little Women", "Macbeth"... and others. Hmm... I suppose that's a topic for another time.

The best thing I can say about this book is that it's short. It only took me a couple of days to get through, and that's only because I can't just sit down and read. I would have had it done in half a day if I'd been able to. But what a waste of an afternoon that would have been. And, no. I won't be seeing the movie.(less)

This is a book for high schoolers, I some how missed it at that time and decided to read it now after seeing the movie trailer. Short read, I have to say I disliked it and the characters in it from the very beginning, even before our plot device, Mr. Gatsby, appears.

My supposition is that the book really has nothing to do with Mr. Gatsby. He is a made up magical character that doesn't really exist in real life. The real people in this book are Tom, Daisy, and Jordan Baker. By real, I mean these...more

I read the book, it was alright, I got through it, though I had to struggle. The protagonist was boring, the sense of place unclear, and I found all the characters to be woefully dull.

Scott Fitzgerald starts off when the main character, Nick Carraway, moves from his midwest home to West Egg, which is near New York City. He buys a small bungalow in between two mansions, one of which is owned by Jay Gatsby, who throws sumptuous parties every week and becomes a close friend of Nick’s. There are many ardent themes in it such as love, hate, friendship, betrayal, and greed, that are referenced throughout the novel. It also strongly conveys the American Dream, a national belief of the people of the United States. There are some interesting points in the plot, but, in general, it is rather mundane to me.
The themes of love, hate, friendship, betrayal, and greed, are all prominent in this book and are expressed in different ways. There is love between Gatsby and Daisy. Daisy, who is Nick’s cousin, is already married to someone else. Tom Buchanan, Daisy’s husband, hates Gatsby because he is trying to steal his wife. Nick and Gatsby form a very strong friendship and try to help one another. Tom is betraying Daisy because he is seeing his mistress without her knowing even though he is married to Daisy. Greed is displayed by Tom because he still wants Daisy even though they don’t love each other. Gatsby also shows greed by how he got all of his money, which he ultimately pays for at the end of the book.
The American Dream is basically what someone wants to become, often having to do with being rich, or having a loving family. It may not be either of those things though, its just what you want your life to be. The term ‘American Dream’ was coined by James Truslow Adams in his 1931 book, The Epic of America, where he states, in a shortened form, “life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement regardless of social class or circumstances of birth.” This relates to The Great Gatsby because Gatsby is a millionaire, but his American Dream isn’t reached because he isn’t with his love of his life, who is Daisy.
Most of the book was written in a very tedious way, but that doesn’t mean that there weren’t some good parts to the book. An interesting part is when Jordan Baker, a close friend of Daisy’s, suggests to Nick that he should get Gatsby and Daisy together again after five years apart. The gathering after so many years away from one another was at first awkward, but they soon started to love each other the way they did before. One of the most interesting parts of the whole story was when Gatsby got killed. He was killed to pay for his evil doings that made him rich. Even though it was the most interesting, it was also the saddest part of the story, too. Those was only two of the few interesting parts of the story, but the rest is quite dull. I wouldn’t recommend reading this book even though it expresses the themes mentioned above and the American Dream very well.(less)
