Written by Scott Fitzgerald and taking place in Long Island, NY during the roaring twenties, The Great Gatsby is a very lively read. The story follows main character Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire who tries to win back his lost love, Daisy Buchanan. This book is interesting, as it is narrated by a character named Nick Carraway, who also appears in the storyline. The novel explores themes of desire, greed, class, and the corrupting influence of wealth. I loved this book because the imagery and details helped to explain what it was like to be alive in the time period before the Great Depression. I loved the entire plot of this novel, and highly recommended reading to all high school students! I would rate this book a four out of five!
