Must read. You always hear the movie doesn’t match up to the book. I can honestly say this book was incredible! I could picture Leonardo DiCaprio playing his role of Gatsby as I turned each page!

It was a beautiful story. I loved the classical story of course. Beautifully well told. But the writing style, as to be expected of the times, was a difficult read. Just be cautious as to not read to fast or to get caught up on a single sentence or word. It’ll make sense as you read on, until the very end.

Great. Best

Underwhelmed…. I decided to read this book because of it’s major reputation and it’s place in classical literature. However after having finished it, I am enormously underwhelmed with my experience. Perhaps where was some greater metaphor or message I missed in my time reading it, maybe not, I don’t particularly care to go back and find it either way. Beautiful writing, disappointing book.

Good read. It’s a classic and an amazing read.

Great gra. This is a good book to read it as a play

Wonderful!. Love this book!

A gripping story, a fabulous style and bewitching images. Gatsby believes that money will buy him friendship, love, respectability and will erase the lost years. He irritates us sometimes, but we forgive him, because he’s gifted with hope, generosity and a touching naivety reminiscent of childhood. Fitzgerald excels at revealing the criminal flippancy of the poor, who end up paying for their mistakes, and that of the rich, who cynically escape their actions’ consequences. The fabulous style, the bewitching images and the author’s way of showing the emotions in subtle and effective means add to the illusion and lead us, with the hero, into nostalgic daydreams. We let ourselves be seduced by Daisy’s voice, overwhelmed by Tom’s presence and enchanted by Gatsby’s smile. For me, this book is a masterpiece and I can’t resist the pleasure of sharing an excerpt. “A breeze blew through the room, blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags, twisting them up toward the frosted wedding-cake of the ceiling, and then rippled over the wine-colored rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea. The only completely stationary object in the room was an enormous couch on which two young women were buoyed up as though upon an anchored balloon. They were both in white, and their dresses were rippling and fluttering as if they had just been blown back in after a short flight around the house. I must have stood for a few moments listening to the whip and snap of the curtains and the groan of a picture on the wall. Then there was a boom as Tom Buchanan shut the rear windows and the caught wind died out about the room, and the curtains and the rugs and the two young women ballooned slowly to the floor.”

yes. slightly disappointed because it wasn’t like the episode story but still good

yummy. yummy

Classic. I had to read this book in high school English class and I didn’t really care for it then. I decided to give it another try just for leisure and it was a great story! Glad I re-read it.

The goat book. Overall very great book and was fun to read it

My experience. It’s a good book and I definitely recommend. I definitely learned about respect and learned to not be envious.

The Great Gatsby. F. Scott Fitzgerald is a phenomenal writer. I loved the depths he dove into when writing. I just hated the relationships in it. It could have had such a great potential with the beginning of the story, but when it ended, I felt deflated and flat. Not one I would necessarily recommend.

ok. the book wasnt awful the writings good i just cant help but give it three stars because of how much i dislike most of the characters there area few exceptions here like nick isnt awful and i like jordan. might be a favorite for some people and i can see why its a classic but not my cup of tea

Haven’t read. This is filled with bots

An Engaging and Enjoyable Read!. In a word, “The Great Gatsby” is fun. It’s hard to put the book down once you start since Fitzgerald strikes a perfect a perfect balance between descriptive worldbuilding and advancing the plot. The novel’s readability is also helped by the fact that his use of language has aged incredibly and reads like something you’d find today in the New Yorker (i.e. no need for that 18th century Webster’s Dictionary here!). If you haven’t read it since high school, I definitely recommend another read. However, be warned, it will be difficult not to mentally picture that Leonardo DiCaprio meme when Jay Gatsby finally makes his appearance.

Great gatsby. Boring!!!!!

To love and be loved as Gatsby loved Daisy. A tragic tale of a man who would reinvent himself to fit into shallow promises of love.

Amazing. Only book ever to make me somehow hate every single character at some point.

Excellent. Great word play. Fast read. Loved it.

The Marginally Ok Gatsby. Meh.

A real page turner. Read in a matter of hours. Not a minute that was not interesting.

Must Read!!. Spellbound reading of a great classic! So many twists and turns and breathtaking surprises. Beautiful art. Thank goodness! Thank you F. Scott!!

Beautiful and Sad. Very poignant look at the emptiness of life without the experience of true love and friendship. I hear Bessie Smith singing the old blues classic “Nobody Loves You When You’re Down and Out.”

I wish I could read it for the first time again. How are you gonna drop that on me on a TUESDAY. I remember reading it In highschool and being like psssh whatever, but like OH MY GOD ITS GOOD. The great American novel seriously. If you’ve never read it it’s less than 300 pages. It’s the book that got me into reading PLEASE BRO PLEASE read it. Like this is art. It’s just Bangar line after Bangar line. The last paragraph, the last two pages are just FANTASTIC. The whole book is fantastic

The greatest book in English. This book was incredibly good, read it as I worked out and at school, so many motifs and turns I definitely was not expecting highly recommended any highschool student to read and anyone wanting to get into good read.

Enjoyable. Wanted to read it again, was a good

Great Book. Haven’t read a book in what feels like a decade. Finished in less than 24 hours. Great read, always loved the movie but the book was even better too my surprise!

Overrated. I was always told to read this. I was disappointed by the book.

Decent. Had to read it for school

Great read. Loved it

Good in 2022. Like

I love that book. That’s a good book today

The Great Gatsby. An invaluable lesson of letting go since we don’t always get what we want. Life is short and fragile.

The Great Gatsby. It’s a challenging well-written read. And in my opinion an interesting illustration of shallowness and “all that glitters ain’t gold”

The Great Gatsby. Very beautiful words if ideologies are ignored. The main character has a certain subtlety to him, which is amusing at times. Overall, very enjoyable and pleasing read.

Part of the American canon. A frenetic classic American gothic dream.

Good heavens 😳. what a novel

Never look back. Where do I start!!! Rip to the late gatsby. Hey never wait for live. The end

Good. This is my second time reading and it’s still as good as before. Gatsby didn’t deserve to die and his murder was all because Tom lied. And of course daisy she doesn’t have a clue what she wants

Great performance. This production was great and really brought this classic to modern life.

The Great Gatsby. Even better with time. Well told tale of the fickleness of people and the frailness of life.

The Great Gatsby. A must read. A gripping tale of life. Sad but real. I read it the first time over 50 years ago and it still leaves me speechless.

Wonderful!. Great story!

Great book, lame edition. This edition has typographical errors on every other page. It’s distracting, but it’s free. Beggars—alas—cannot be choosers.

Classic. Great book I can read over and over again

Favorite book of all time. This book may possibly be my favorite book of all time and anything less than 5 stars feels criminal

I knew it was a great decision to read this. I read this because family guy did an episode about it

.. Good book

Very good. Breathtakingly astounding

One of my favourite books ever. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Would definitely recommend it to anyone

Breathtakingly beautiful is Fitzgeralds written word. Possibly one of the most poetically written novels I have ever read. Packed with intrigue, Fitzgerald allows the reader to dive into the star mingled void of the Upper class society of East/WestEgg society. Truly splendid. Thank you to whomever made the decision that this novel should be free for all to read. I think Fitzgerald would have liked that idea.
