Review: The Great Gatsby is a monumental story that excellently portrays the 1920s. It tells the story of Nick Carraway's life living next door to rich Mr. (Great) Gatsby. The story is full of deceitful love triangles, risky gambling, and even murder. All of which is viewed from the simple eyes of Nick.

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.

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.

Summary: The Failure of Success
Review: The Great Gatsby is able to show what upper class lifestyle was really like in the 20's. It reveals the failure that can follow success, along with demonstrating money cannot buy happiness. This book shoes love can fail, money can kill, and you never have enough time to truly live.
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.

Summary: The Great Gatsby
Review: Nick Carraway, a young man in the "Roaring Twenties", relates the tale of his friend, Jay Gatsby. The story follows Gatsby's search for an unattainable ideal of love through wealth, eventually leading to his downfall. This novel portrays the very spirit of the 1920's, also exposing its dark side. Very well written, but a dull plot. It failed to draw the reader into the story, nor did it make the reader really care about the characters.
