Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Allire

The Great Gatsby is a good American Classic. The plot tells of how one's life can be run by money. How the American dream may be to become successful and rich, but sometimes those things can't make you truly happy.


I liked this book because it's original, and the theme is unique and true. Sometimes I just wanted to yell at Daisy, but based on the time line and where the characters are located, I'm pretty sure that the characters are realistic. When I ask someone on whether or not they like this book, I get mixed feelings on it from other people. Personally, I liked it, although others have not. I think it depends on whether or not you would like the theme of it (The American Dream), and if you enjoy classic/older books.
