Summary: Gripper
Review: If this wasn't the most gripping book about garden parties and drinking tea on the lawn, then I don't know what was.

Summary: ANGRY REVIEWER
Review: I would have given this book 5 stars if I hadn't read the reviews of a couple of idiots several columns down that give away the ending and key plot surprizes in their review. (You F#*@ing Idiots!!!). It completely destroyed my experience of reading one of the highest rated books written this century. If you are just checking out the reviews before read. WARNING: Do not read 10 reviews past the next. (THOSE F#*@ING IDIOTS).

Summary: Wonderful Symbolism
Review: Dear reader, do not read "The Great Gatsby" like you would other books. In fact, before you read it (or re-read it), take a thing such as time, color, etc. and see how Fitzgerald uses that thing. You will be amazed how this book dives deep into many dimensions of thought and spirit. Wonderful book!

Summary: The Great Gatsby is far too predictable
Review: This book is too predictable. I don't know if anyone who has read the book, didnt see the conclusion before the climax. To top it off every theme is spelled out for the reader. The title bewilders me and the allure of millions confuses me. All in all 'The Great Gatsby' should've stayed a flop, just as it was in Fitzgerald's day.

Summary: A decent classic worth a read
Review: This book is, yes, a classic, but a decent one. Most people have read it and most love it, but there seems to be a stubborn group of Fitzgerald-haters, so it's obviously not for everyone. The imagery stood out among all other good parts of the book. It is very lyrical, almost poetic. If nothing else, F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote a beautiful novel. Gatsby is the best part of the whole thing, too. Dark, mysterious, and rich, we never really get a good look at him (don't watch the movie for this reason), but he's an intriguing character, worth at least a glance. I don't know if this book is a classic, but I don't know what makes a classic. The story is well written and the scenery is gorgeous even if the plot is a little convoluted. This book won't change your life, as is noted by another reader a few reveiws down, but is worth reading once for any number of reasons.

Summary: A well-developed story in so few words.
Review: I had read very few classics before readinf Fitzgerald's Graet Gatsby. He portrays each character very well. He gets his point across without boring the reader with every miniscule detail. It is a masterpiece. No wonder it is number 3 on the Top 100 novels of the century!

Summary: Review of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby
Review: Review of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby was written during the time of the roaring twenties. The novel has many themes, but the most dominating one is the death of the American Dream which died because of Jay Gatsby's involvement in organized crime. Nick Carraway is the narrator of the story. The story starts when he [Nick] is leaving the Mid-West to start a new life in New York. There is where he meets Jay Gatsby, who is a rich man and the protagonist of the novel. Gatsby is in love with Daisy Buchannan, who is coincidentally Nick's cousin. Even though Daisy is married to a man named Tom Buchanan, she is very much in love with Gatsby. Tom is the bad guy in the story or the antagonist. Tom is having an affair with a lady named Myrtle Wilson. He treats Myrtle very badly, but she puts up with it because of his wealth. Myrtle is married to George Wilson who is the hard luck guy in the novel who in the end takes out his revenge on someone that did not deserve it. Jordan Baker is the woman in brings Gatsby to Nick and consequently Gatsby to his long lost love Daisy. In the end it is revealed that Gatsby and Daisy are very much in love. When Tom finds out about this he gets very upset and tells George Wilson that Gatsby is having an affair with his wife. Raged, Wilson goes and murders Gatsby for something he did not do. The story ends tragicically because Myrtle and George are all killed in violently. Fitzgerald's main purpose of writing this novel was to briefly describe what it was like in the 1920's. In the critical essays that I read it seems that Fitzgerald's purpose in writing the essay was to relate himself to Gatsby. Gatsby is described as Fitzgerald which I don't believe is right because he [Gatsby] is described as the "victim" in the story when really he is not.

Summary: I can't recommend this book highly enough
Review: I read this book when I was fifteen years old. And again when I was seventeen, then twenty-two, then... well, you get the idea. It's the kind of book that not only stands the test of time, but can survive reading and re-reading. I find something new each time, but the love that Gatsby feels for Daisy is such that it continues to haunt me. There's a blinking light near my house - every time that I see it, I think of Gatsby looking out across the water at Daisy's home. There's a billboard near my house that catches the eye every time that I pass it - and I think of the eyes on the billboard near the garage, always watching. It's a timeless story that echoes in my soul years after I first read it. Do yourself a favor and read this book.

Summary: This booke is about the dumbest yet! don't read it!
Review: this booke is very stupid, just like all the other secular writers out in the world. quite frankly, they should not be writing about "worldly" things that do not affect people in any way whatsoever! after reading this book, your life will be the same as before you read it...why not read a book that will change your life and the way you think of things? what book is this? it is "THE BOOK"... the BIBLE! God loves you no matter what, but why not give your life to him as he gave his son for you? God Bless You and May Your Days Be Bright!!!
