F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby entertained me with its unique story. The novel tells of love, materialistic people, and consequence. More people should read this novel because it teaches many life lessons like sometimes you just have to accept that people move on and that bad actions lead to consequences. The author's style is different from most because it uses words that some might not understand completely. Fitzgerald writes very well and educated. His voice is unusual compared to other novels I have read by other people because his writing is very descriptive and not to easy to read.
The novel reads as though the characters are real people. F. Scott Fitzgerald makes the characters have different but distinct personalities, and no character is like another. Gatsby tries to impress others and tries to make others like him by having nice things. Nick is a person that is the main character and through which the story is told. He is different from Gatsby because he is not very materialistic and does not live among the rich in East Egg where Gatsby lives.
The Great Gatsby takes place in West Egg and East Egg, New York and after the war. This setting is not at all like the world I know. This all took place before I was born and no one had computers or modern telephones.
My novels plot consists of some love affairs. Before the war, Gatsby and a woman named Daisy were together and she promised to wait on him. When Gatsby returned, she was with another man. Nick soon moved to West Egg from the Midwest. At this time, Gatsby was still in love with Daisy even though she had moved on. Gatsby soon meet Nick and asked him to try to get Daisy in the same room with him. Gatsby and Daisy then talked and reestablished their love for one another. Then bad things start to happen and you will just have to read the novel to find out what happens.
I liked this novel and approve it to anyone looking for a good read. It is not the easiest book to read in one's spare time, but teaches life lessons that many do not know that should know. The Great Gatsby reads great and is an all around good book.
