TITLE: THE GREAT GATSBY

AUTHOR: F.SCOTT FITZGERALD

GENRE: FICTION, NOVEL, CLASSIC

GOODREADS SYNOPSIS:

Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate – a marvellous fusion into a unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period – which reveals a hero like no other – one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.

It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous entertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan – a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.



It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.


MY REVIEW:

When I had started reading this book, I felt bored. There were numerous mentions of people, names, events, tended me to abandon this book at one point. But the book had revealed its real excellence when I reached half the novel. All those events, names mentioned earlier became more plausible for me. 

I am not getting into a detailed review of this book. I solely want to convey my perspective regarding this. It’s primarily a story of personal relations than a romance one; which is about changing relationships and emotions among people.

For me, this book is a mirror projecting to an enlightened society, where we all live. It conveys precisely a message to the reader that everyone needs to reweigh their relationships. In this hectic world, we cannot unmistakably distinguish between real and fake.

The human minds are complicated, so hard in interpreting one’s perception and feelings. It’s difficult to find a true friend or partner because love and compassion become a game of fakeness nowadays.

This novel remains an exceptional piece of work in English literature. The book is in first person narrative. Mostly I have read classics by British authors than American authors. “The Great Gatsby” carries a great message to the readers.

If you haven’t read this book, do read it.
