Editorial Review: Synopsis: Set in the post-Great War Long Island/New York world of the rich. The narrator, Nick Carraway, sympathetically records the pathos of Gatsby's romantic dream which founders on the reality of corruption, the insulated selfishness of Tom and Daisy, and the cutting edge of violence. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Unexpected wowI wouldn't have chosen a book such as this normally - it took a good few people telling me to read it before I finally did. But it was an amazing surprise. It presents a wonderful picture of 1920's America - sparkling with colour and glitter and wit and alcohol, but scratch just a little below the surface and there are always the darker undertones of corruption and deceit, the tensions, the constant hint of aggression - this is a book to tantalize the senses and confuse the mind. It's one of those books where there is no real solution - you decide who you believe or trust, and who you don't - and take it from there. A definate recommendation - everyone should read it! |
