Reviews
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
5By YoungBradleyTvFitzgerald’s writing feels like poetry in motion — every line shimmers with beauty and ache. The Great Gatsby isn’t just a story about love or wealth; it’s about chasing dreams that are always just out of reach. Watching Gatsby cling to his vision, even as it crumbles, was heartbreaking yet strangely inspiring. I loved how the novel exposes the glittering emptiness of the Jazz Age — how everyone moves in circles of luxury but no one truly finds peace. By the end, Nick’s reflections hit me hard. Gatsby’s hope, his longing, and his refusal to let go of the dream made him one of the most unforgettable characters I’ve ever read. Fitzgerald captures something eternal — that quiet struggle between who we are and who we wish we could be. This book left me still thinking long after I closed it. Timeless, haunting, and absolutely worth five stars. 🌌As it should be
5By Kurra HIt's hard to say that the book is perfect, but it has an aura to it that feels mysterious and tragic. It's as it should be.Not may favorite

5By jhyjtdryuTi7rtThe tragic story of a man that dared to rise above his class
4By Nessland10Reading this book as an adult was something else. The nuances that you miss when you read as someone that hasn't been hurt or seen more of the world are glaringly apparent as a more experienced reader. Narrating the legend of a man that dared to rise above his class with whatever he could in order to impress a vapid socialite is heartbreaking. As it's been since the beginning of time, the rich really do get away with murder. The part of the novel I never understood is why no one, not even Myrtle's sister, ever outed Tom as the person having an affair with her sister. Nick never told his cousin who her husband's mistress was nor did he ever mention to Gatsby. The injustice of it all was a hard pill to swallow while reading this novel because Mystle's death needed to be resolved, at least for me, and justice be served. By Nick sharing the story later on or at least telling someone about it. But I guess the justice of this is that Daisy got the husband she deserved, a cheating, vapid man, that will continue to lie and cheat on her until death.Fitzgerald Classic Book
5By sfreeman328Great classic! I read this book years ago and it was just as exciting to read as I felt the first timeThis book is terrible
1By Ok.Boo.merIt is extremely hard to read. The story is choppy and hard to follow and none of the characters are likable at all.
