Review Summary: Jazz Age Beauty
Review: In the Great Gatsby, F Scott Fitzgerald created a wonder. He described a world and a fiend we can all relate to, that of frustrated and not fully requitted love, and he described it with all the beauty that anybody using the English language could muster. His message was the we are all fighting against the tide of time, which beats us back ever more forcefully with the progressing years, and yet we all feel that our youth, our elixir, our perfect moment and strength of Orient is within our grasp. Gatsby was a man who had lost once, and yet felt the compulsion to fight again, for the ultimate prize that would revoke his past defeat. A simple and bewilderingly focused passion that in the end destroyed the man as only it could. That was Gatsby's only goal, but in stripping his life down to such basics, and in essence, seeking to negate the past, Gatsby found he was fighting against the viscious tide of time. Read this book for the narrative, if you like. Read it for the beautiful Jazz Age description if you like also. But read it most of all for the moments in it whose beauty surpasses all contemporarys'. Find the green light.

Review Summary: A brilliant story about the Era of Wonderful Nonsense
Review: Life in the Roarin' 20s was oodles of fun. The wealthy people all throughout the United States were going to parties and making money. Jay Gatsby, Nick Carraway, and Daisy and Tom Buchanan were right there in the action. But, there was a huge conflict that stopped all the fun for these four individuals. The Great Gatsby will show you what is really behind all of the excitement in the 1920s. You will here about the poor people who couldn't afford the parties and fun events. Also, the ever-going romance between Gatsby and Daisy, and the problem they have when facing society will amaze you. For example, they meet in secret places tucked away from the public. Their romance is one of betrayal and privacy. This novel will also describe the Jazz Age as it really happened with the alcohol binges at Gatsby's parties, the fashion of flappers, and architecture, especially the homes of Gatsby and the Buchanans. Before you know it, you will be living in the Era of Wonderful Nonsense right along with the characters while sharing their story. This novel is definitely a must read!

Review Summary: Una historia previsible.
Review: La verdad es que desde el principio uno podia suponer como iba a terminar la historia. Mal al principio por no defnir a cada personaje, se hace dificil seguir la historia. Gatsby no quiere quedar afuera de la sociedad en esa epoca, y de esta manera, tiende a prostituirse en todo sentido con tal de conseguir su unico y preciado fin
