“They were careless people; they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness.” – To me, this one line will always remain as the essence of this book.
I liked this book and also the characters but some chapters are bland to read. I gave it 3 stars.
The Great Gatsby, by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald, is a novel set on Long Island in the 1920s that uses its characters to explore themes of materialism and the American Dream.

One of my all-time favorites. Love the symbolism and prose! Love the contrast between the glamorous and shimmering lifestyle, and the deep sadness of the characters.
