The Great Gatsby told from the point of view of Nick Carraway. Nick becomes friends with Tom Buchanan, Daisy Buchanan, and Jordan Baker, three kind, welcoming people. Tom and Daisy are married, however Tom is having an affair. Curious, Nick asks the three who Jay Gatsby, his rich, mysterious, next-door neighbor is. None of them know who he is except for Daisy, who's very quiet about it. One day, Nick is invited to one of Gatsby's weekly crazy parties. There he sees Jordan, who he spends a lot of time with. He also meets Gatsby, a kind, normal man who uses the phrase "old sport". Nick soon finds out that Gatsby is in love with Daisy, and they were dating before he went to the war. Soon things get messy between, Tom, Daisy, and Jay.
F. Scott Fitzgerald is amazing. Not only did he achieve in creating the greatest book in American history, but he actually deserves that honor. The simple writing is so brilliant an detailed, you are astonished by every sentence. I couldn't write an entire book that would be as well-written as one sentence in The Great Gatsby. I cried, I laughed, and I couldn't put it down. Definitely stick 'til the end, its worth it. A must-read for anyone who enjoys good literature.
