The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is a story about a group of high class, wealthy people who live in Long Island, New York. Nick Carraway moves there to learn more about bond business. His next-door neighbor, Jay Gatsby, is a mysterious man who throws parties every Saturday night. Mr. Gatsby has feelings for Daisy Buchanan, Nick’s cousin. Daisy and Gatsby have a history, but now she is married. Gatsby will do anything in his power to get her back.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the story itself was an eyeopener. It made me realize that wealth does not make someone happy, it’s the connections and relationships built. Money doesn’t mean everything, but the people in this novel never understood that principle. I would rate this book a 4 out of 5.
