alexis_riley shared a tip "A classic!! This is novel is so beautifully and eloquently written. If you haven’t already dipped your toes into the excitingly mysterious life of Mr.Gatsby, I 10/10 recommend you do soon!!"

alexis_riley shared a tip "This is now one of my favourite novels!! If you haven’t stepped into the mysteriously glamorous world of Mr. Gatsby I highly advised you do in the near future!! 10/10 recommend"

thor_smith shared a tip "This is one of those books that will go down in history as one of the most beautiful ever written, in my humble opinion. There are a few outdated social constructs and norms to tackle, as it takes place in the literal 1920s, but this book is, through its faults, absolutely stellar. I recommend! Keep in mind, as an afterthought, kids reading this in high school, where it is often read for the first time, may possibly be just a little too young to understand and appreciate the full weight of the book. Everyone is different however. I read it later on in life after giving it a solid shot just after high School, and I picked up on so many more little pieces."

tonya_cooper shared a tip "The ending ... wasn’t what I had hoped. I didn’t like how the story ended, but life isn’t like that, either. I’m just enthralled by his writing (or was it Zelda’s ...?)"

rose_winters shared a tip "I enjoyed the fact that I can choose how/why the characters do/act a certain way. And I can identify with different characters throughout life."

dalila_lala shared a tip "I read this book for college class. I enjoyed the parties described in this book...Quite an eye opener and the storys told after by this author a must read classic quick read...too."

c_l_mylek shared a tip "I personally enjoyed Fitzgerald's writing. It is well written and you will be pulled into wanting to know more about Gatsby's outrageous world. On that note, the women in the novel are portrayed how one might expect they would be portrayed, as this was a story written during the 1920s."

alyssa_olshanski shared a tip "I am obsessed with this book. It is a must read. I know many people that dislike it, but I find it to be a wonderful story and it was written very well."

julia_p_7093 shared a tip "This is one of the few books we had to read for school that I actually enjoyed. It felt realistic to me and it was very intriguing."

colleen_douglas shared a tip "@tristen_fw i have not, but i read this last year in my junior english class and fell in love with it. if you have books by this author that you enjoy please share!"

makayla_winfield shared a tip "This book was amazing and very captivating. Almost as if you could imagine what it was like to be there, running along side him. Without a fear in the world, while you fear everything."

nicole_8722 shared a tip "The historical accuracy along with a plot focusing on a man lost in his life and wealth and his futile attempts to make himself happy with not just money but with someone to share his life with. The symbolism in this book is bittersweet as much as the ending is."

Atopthetalltower shared a tip "Can't say I recommend this novel. Although considered a classic of American literature, I find the overall message a deceitful one. This story is full of flawed and unlikable characters that blame their despicable wrongdoings upon society instead of taking responsibility for their actions. But perhaps that was the intention of the author."

shea_witz shared a tip "The end is anticlimactic, thats why i give it 4 stars. The writing is splendid and absolutely beautiful. Every chapter felt like its own book i needed to think about. This just took my breath away. Amazing"

trinxity_ shared a tip "One of my favorite books ever! I reread it every couple of months. I’m obsessed with each individual character. It’s got drama, romance, and the time period it takes place in (the roaring 20s) is perfect. Fitzgerald writes the book to where it is easy to understand, but still a classic piece of literature."

elyse_8131 shared a tip "He'll yass. This book is so good and like at the end of every chart they are a cliffhanger. I think its one of my favorite book. I think you should definitely read it"

krysta_natoshia shared a tip "The fact that Daisy gives such insight into the mind of Zelda and you can feel Fitzgerald’s love for his wife. Also the line about his rare smile of “eternal reassurance”💜"
