Book review

Book Review of The Great Gatsby Written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby is a timeless classic exposing the disillusioned American Dream in the Jazz Age. Narrated by Nick, it tells the tragic story of Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire who holds lavish parties only to win back his lost lover Daisy. Behind the flashy wealth lies emptiness. Gatsby’s sincere obsession contrasts sharply with Daisy’s cold vanity and the upper class’s hypocrisy. His sad ending reveals that blind pursuit of past romance and material success will only end in despair. With delicate language and profound themes, the novel reminds us not to be trapped by unrealistic illusions. It remains a must-read for its sharp criticism of materialism.
