Summary: The Great Gatsby reviewed by stvm student
Review: The Great Gatsby is a story about the Jazz age, it tells the story of Jay Gatsby, a materialistic bootleggar who was blinded by his love. It is told from the view point of Gatsby's friend Nick Calloway, who sees the corruption of the rich through his western values. Nick discovers Gatsby's true attributes through many long nihgts and odd expeinces that could only of happened during the "Roaring Twenties." This book shows the materialism that existed in the upper class during the 1920's, it is a great read that helps to understand how consumerism and materlism came to be.

Summary: The Great Gatsby
Review: The Great Gatsby is a novel about the ideals and principals of the 1920's. The story is based on Jay Gatsby and how his own dreams and lifestyle of the Roaring 20's eventually destroy him. The story goes to prove that the world was in a pursuit for wealth and caring for nothing else. This stroy to me, was a great interpratation of the 1920's lifestyle and how the people acting in the decade. This novel was a wonderful story about how the dreams and ideals America once held are now no more.

Rating: 2 stars

Review: The Great Gatsby is a story of one man's struggle to find happiness during the booming 20's. He surrounds himself with wealth and throws parties he does not attend to bring back his one true love. This story captures life during the 1920's very accurately and shows that wealth can not buy a person's love or happiness.

Summary: The Phenomenal Great Gatsby
Review: Through a story of passion, desire for materialistic possessions, and deceitful lifestyles, "The Great Gatsby" has captured the essence of society. Gatsby lived an extravegent life in hopes of winning Daisy's love. To Gatsby's demise a life of love does not hold a candle to a life of possessions. I loved this book due to its wonderful story line and it revealed the true life and society of the 1920's. It also made me think of what life is really about and how important succcess really is.

Rating: 5 stars

I personally thought this was a really well thought-out book. It had a highly developed plot that really kept a person into the book. It built up suspense well and managed to keep people interested. I recommend this book to anyone trying to learn more about the 20's.

Rating: 4 stars
