  <default_description>&lt;P&gt;More critical writing exists on  &lt;I&gt;The Great Gatsby&lt;/I&gt; than on any other work of American fiction. This  &lt;I&gt;Columbia Critical Guide&lt;/I&gt; introduces and contextualizes the key critical debates surrounding Fitzgerald's novel. The extracts and essays included here reflect  &lt;I&gt;The Great Gatsby&lt;/I&gt;'s place as one of the first American novels to make significant use of modernist techniques and explore the influence of this &quot;Lost Generation&quot; work on later American writings. In considering secondary sources from the twenties to the present, this smart and sophisticated study guide offers readers an invaluable resource on this complex rendering of a moment in American history.&lt;/P&gt;</default_description>

A mediocre book. <br/>As Oscar Wilde said - &quot;If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.&quot; <br/>I was forced to read this for my English class, and I think that pretty much says it all.

    <body><![CDATA[A cursory read in high school was not memorable, so I was really surprised at how good this book is. The writing is beautiful, and the social critique is among the best I can remember...on par with George Eliot. The characters are despicable, but tragic and unforgettable nonetheless.

    <body><![CDATA[Another great classic that is a classic for a reason.  I absolutely loved the dialog because it pulled you tight into the roaring twenties and held you there.

    <body><![CDATA[I thought I had read this book years ago, but my memory failed me. I realized that I had not read it, but am I glad I did just now.  It's really a great book, and I was really moved by Gatsby's death.<br/><br/>I was inspired to read the book after reading about how Perkins worked with Fitgerald to s...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20568186">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[there are many jewels to be discovered in this reading. When I first read it in high school I thought it was an ok read but when I read it again 10 years later the real story unfolded and nothing but life experience could have made the difference.
