After stumbling past the first two pages, F. Scott Fitzgerald really gets his book going. Building steadily in interest and drama, the climax is surprisingly satisfying. This book implores on the eccentricities of a couple high-class citizens of 1920s America. Filled with romance, drama, and mystery, this book brings a good representation of what it means to be an American, criticizing heavily the crookedness and corruption that can be associated with the American Dream. Exploring themes of adultery, materialism, waste, and obsession, Fitzgerald really outdoes himself on this wonderfully written American Classic. 9.5/10
