The Great Gatsby


Book Review: The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. This exemplary novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when The New York Times noted “gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession,” it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.

I've read this book several times, but wanted to do a quick reread of the book before the movie comes out on May 10. It was fun to reread the book, and I can't wait for the movie!! Here are a couple of movie trailers....
