It took a minute to warm up， but once it did I was enthralled by the world Gatsby made for himself。 Heartbroken for Mr。 Gatz。 Tom is insufferable。 This book had some beautiful writing。 Moments between the glitz and glamor that startled me into realization。 And now I know what the green light means 💚

Un clásico si lo que buscamos es tener una noción respecto a los locos años 20， siendo publicado en la mitad de aquella década。 Fitzgerald nos retrata una vida ostentosa y pudiente， llena de lujos， donde las apariencias y posesiones definían la posición social。 Está narrado por uno de los personajes， Nick Carraway， quién conoce a Jay Gatsby， su vecino， y forma una amistad íntima con él。 Gatsby， cegado y esperanzado de que Daisy correspondiera su amor， podemos observarlo con una fascinación por r Un clásico si lo que buscamos es tener una noción respecto a los locos años 20， siendo publicado en la mitad de aquella década。 Fitzgerald nos retrata una vida ostentosa y pudiente， llena de lujos， donde las apariencias y posesiones definían la posición social。 Está narrado por uno de los personajes， Nick Carraway， quién conoce a Jay Gatsby， su vecino， y forma una amistad íntima con él。 Gatsby， cegado y esperanzado de que Daisy correspondiera su amor， podemos observarlo con una fascinación por recuperar aquel romance que no pudo ser años atrás， y fracasa en su intento。 （view spoiler）[Respecto al final， me entristeció que nadie asistiera al funeral， más que Nick y el padre de Jay， me marcó la frase que dice este último， respecto a que en sus fiestas la gente iba por montones， incluso sin conocer al anfitrión， solamente a disfrutar y aprovechar los lujos， la música y la champaña que se les ofrecía; pero en un momento final， sólo se quedaron dos personas fieles a él。 （hide spoiler）]En conclusión， puedo decir que Jay Gatsby deserves better。 。。。more

An amazing book that uncovers the ugly side of avarice and wealth。 And the type of people who take advantage of any opportunity to imbibe in that societal rank。

I love this book so much because it never fails to transport me to my favorite city in the world in an iconic era。 I fell in love with every character。 Highly recommend listening to jazz playlists while reading this。

"Gatsby acreditava na luzinha verde， no futuro orgástico que ano após ano recua diante de nós。 Se a dado momento nos escapou， não importa — amanhã correremos mais depressa， estenderemos até mais longe os braços。。。 E um belo dia。。。Assim vamos remando， barcos a navegar contra a correnteza， incessantemente levados de volta ao passado。" "Gatsby acreditava na luzinha verde， no futuro orgástico que ano após ano recua diante de nós。 Se a dado momento nos escapou， não importa — amanhã correremos mais depressa， estenderemos até mais longe os braços。。。 E um belo dia。。。Assim vamos remando， barcos a navegar contra a correnteza， incessantemente levados de volta ao passado。" 。。。more

a little over rated， I can’t expect the film to be much better。 a basic plot however I did enjoy the common theme of false appearances and the love story gatsby has for daisy。 I wanted to read more about their past though。 I expect it was a lot more dramatic in the time period it was written in。a lot of build up for a disappointing ending。

the experience reading this book was so enjoyable since i had already watched the movie and i had a good understanding of the plot。 the anticipation of the plot and how it all unravels to form the end is SO SATISFYING！！ however there were some parts that i found abstract and was hard to really understand。 i tried my best to read it slowly and analyse each words and really grasp the meaning but there were just some that i skipped over。 also most of the key plot happens in the second half of the b the experience reading this book was so enjoyable since i had already watched the movie and i had a good understanding of the plot。 the anticipation of the plot and how it all unravels to form the end is SO SATISFYING！！ however there were some parts that i found abstract and was hard to really understand。 i tried my best to read it slowly and analyse each words and really grasp the meaning but there were just some that i skipped over。 also most of the key plot happens in the second half of the book and i had fun annotating it！ 。。。more

noiosetto， la trama effettiva è piuttosto stringata è in inglese non ho nemmeno capito tutto。 l’ultima capitolo era l’unico che meritava
