BOOK REVIEW

Crystal 1120113509

The book is The Great Gatsby and the author is Francis Scott Fitzgerald .There are

255 pages.The name of the publisher is China Astronautic Publishing House.My

English teacher recommended the book to me,saying it was a well-known book in the

US and I could learn American culture.It’s the best seller in 20 century.

It’s a story about Gatsby’s American dream breaking up.He loved Daisy from the

bottom of hear.Woking hard,he dreamed of being successful and marring Daisy.

However,he was forgotten in the dust after he died for Daisy.

The story was told by nick’s tone.Nick was Gatsby’s friend and experienced a lot

including see his death.Gatsby loved Dasiy but she married a rich man Tom.Daisy

was not happy because Tom has a lover.

It’s a western book.The setting is in the US.It was in 20th century,which is called the

Jazz Age.Other physical locations are Tom’s house,dock,west egg and east egg.It’s

slow paced and I can follow the writer to see what will go on. Gatsby tried to be a

man of wealth because he can marry Daisy then.One day Daisy caused an accident

that killed Tom’s mistress, and she planned a plot with Tom to put the crime to

Gatsby,which lead to the mistress husband shot Gatsby.

My finally thoughts on The Great Gatsby is that this book is about the American

dream.I like the book because it's vivid,attractive and make people have a deep

thought The good points are that it explores people's deep feeling in detail and reflect

the society through a little story,which is easy to understand.The weak point is that it

uses some devices which I don't know what the author wants to present.I learned that

while the nobles were addicted to luxurious life,there was still someone struggle for

their for dreams. However, the Jazz Age was a tragedy for the youth full of passion

and dreams.I would recommend the book to others because we can really get a lot

about the culture and history during that period.
