Francis Scott Fitzgerald

The Great Gatsby

  • gabey52001shared an impression8 years ago

    The last time I read this book was when I was 19 years old. I couldn't understand much about it. 36 years later, I read it again. Now it all made sense. I can identify with Gatsby and feel his anguish, hopes, fears and joy. Life is not about living a dream but making a dream come true and when that dream is fulfilled, you realised it is actually a nightmare. It's best to be pragmatic and lead a simple life, even if you're filthy rich.

    Read twice, fully understood only years later
    There is absolutely nothing romantic about the story

    A little bit too deep and mangled for a simple brain to analyze..

    💞Loved Up

    The book shows the experience of being in love, in other means, how awfully difficult, messy and complicated it is. But in the end - if you love, you just do. Not being able with the one you love may be crushing.. Fitzgerald's gentle outlook and empathic words show the tragedy of the characters. Worthwhile.
