Search - The Great Gatsby

This novel was simply amazing. The ease of reading disguises the deep and meaningful questions sparked by Gatsby's life and the enigmatic title. Few books are truly life changing, but I would put The Great Gatsby on that list. Fitzgerald really highlighted how truly lonely one can be in a crowd, and the ethics of love of friendship as well as the social change of the 1920's in all aspects. The Great Gatsby was a book that I was forced to read for school and became one of my favorite novels, and upon each re-reading I learn another lesson or see a different aspect of this multifaceted, interesting, and well written work.

A classic!

I'm usually not fond of the books that a literature class would call a classic, but this one is a don't miss.

This is a great book to read. I had to read this book in English literature in high school some years ago. It still is a good read now. When I was in high school, I was fortunate to see the movie after reading the book.
I would recommend reading this book, especially to those in literature classes.

I decided to read this book because of its popularity but not sure if I like it or not. The first half of the story was not very interesting and I almost gave up but the last part did bring it all together.
Dialogue was difficult for me to follow and I had to back up and reread a paragraph now and then . Reminded me of a early 1930's type movie with the people partying, talking and drinking all at the same time .
Some sections were a little confusing such as the ash heap and the eyes on the billboard . Not sure what the author tried to convey here. Too much symbolism throughout the story.
With so many liking this story I feel like I'm missing something, but what?

What a great book! I enjoyed it so much and the description is very good! I can't wait to read more of Fitzgerald's work.
