Description

An Apple Books Classics edition.

The Roaring Twenties are in full effect in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s riveting classic. Man-about-town Jay Gatsby seems to have it all, including loads of money and a massive mansion where he hosts wild, extravagant parties every Saturday. But Gatsby’s missing one thing: Daisy Buchanan, the love of his life, the one who got away.

The Great Gatsby explores the impossible, but uniquely human, longing to return to the past and the costs associated with chasing the American Dream. It’s a beautifully written, entertaining read with timeless emotional appeal.

     I have never read a book quite like this one, and I hope that I will read another book that will impact me as much as this one did. Such a beautiful and poetic story. The sad ending was absolutely necessary and Fitzgerald completed the character stories the way that they all should have been completed. I watched the movie the day after finishing this book (it was also absolutely breathtakingly beautiful) and the week after I finished this book I couldn’t even pick up another book because of how much this book was on my mind. It is a short read, but a truly remarkable one and I would recommend this to anyone who likes historical fiction or really just anyone that wants to enjoy a great poetic beautiful story.

    Even if Gatsby is rich, he still loves Daisy ideally. This bottom line is no longer comparable to Tom.

    I got lost at some bits of this book and had to re-read a couple of chapters. Still, beautifully written and clever.

    It’s wonderful and a very quick read. Fitzgerald definitely has a way with words and I feel like I was reminded of so many beautiful words to use in every day vocabulary

    Thinking about losing time when reading this book brought in excitement. The story, however, is encouraging from beginning to end. The story brings inspiration to the reader the entirety of the book. Thank you!
