The Great Gatsby

Title: The Great Gatsby
Author: F Scott Fitzgerald 
Rating: Top Shelf

Summary: This book is an American Classic about achieving the American Dream in the roaring 20s (money, a fine job, and a young lady).

Yes, it is a classic. However, don't let the label scare you away from reading them!! 

I enjoyed the writing style in the book and the length was just right! It had a humorous side to it too.

I got this Lithograph of the book at the Library of Congress in DC and had to share a photo of it!
Go and pick up a copy and let me know what you think in the comments!! Happy reading!!

Book Talk
I read this book in school with no spoilers whatsoever and I had not seen the movie until after reading. I was so glad I did because if I would have found out that Gatsby died in the end I would have lost interest early on. I hated it that he died because Tom hinted that Gatsby killed Myrtle. It was truly a tragedy!!

My favorite character was the guy in the library!! I thought he was super funny because he was surprised the books were real!


Movie Time
The movie was pretty similar to the book which I appreciated. I also like how they updated it in a modern but still accurate way. The only thing I didn't care for was the part that they added about him being at the doctor or in the hospital. I didn't think it was necessary.

What did you think? Leave your thoughts and opinions in the comments! Happy reading!!!
