Customer Rating: Summary: Loved the writing, didn't care for the characters Comment: Wow! I wonder why I've never read any of F. Scott Fitzgerald's works before. This short book was tremendously well written, with wonderful imagery and amazing use of language. The text conjures up clear images of the period, and you can almost taste the dust, feel the heat, and hear the sounds of the settings described. While I found the characters to be largely unsympathetic and much too self-absorbed, I still found myself facinated with the story and unable to put the book down. What a wonderful reflection of an age and society that has long since disappeared. Customer Rating: Summary: Suitable for Older Readers Comment: Younger readers who've never been taught of American history and contemporary economics won't understand this book fully. This book is about capitalism's potential problems that are still seen today. Customer Rating: Summary: Very realistic reflection about the American Dream. Comment: The most magnificant points about this novel are the different connections of relationships between Gatsby, Daisy, Tom, Myrtle, Mr. Wilson, Nick and Jordan. Furthermore, the alteration of Gatsby's materialistic dream to his connected dream of materialism, love and his past with Daisy. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Book Comment: This book agrandized our lives after completing this masterpiece. At first, the book was slow, but after it picked up momentum, it never slowed. F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of the most coveted authors in all american literature. He is a mastermind in all of art's history. He uses ordinary situations and makes them come to life.
