The Great Gatsby By: F.Scott Fitzgerald Written by:Emma Shawver

The Great Gatsby is a very unusual love story. The narrator, Nick is not so much involved in the actual sequence of events that takes place but is merely a mutual friend who happens to be in the right place at the right time. When Nick moves to the west egg district, a wealthy but not very fashionable district, of long island in the summer of 1922, he finds himself evolved in a whirlwind turn of events involving his couzin, Daisy and neighbor, Gatsby. When Daisy Buchanan maried her husband Tom she never thaught that she would be unfaithful, but she soon found her lost relasionship with a wheathy young man,Gatsby, rekindaling. As Daisy and Gatsby fall deeper in love Daisy's husband, Tom, is getting suspisious. Despite he fact that Tom is having an affair himself he becomes enraged at the thaught of Daisy being unfaithful. after both Daisy and Tom turn to Nick for encouragement their marriage is already so strained that it seems it could never be pieced back together. I liked the way this book was written because I liked that you got to read about these turns of events from a bystanders point of view. It felt like you were actually there watching the whole thing unravel. I also really liked the whole party image that Gatsby projects but wen you start to learn more about him you see that he is actually very reserved. I would recomend this book to anyone who likes a classic love story with a few twist and turns along the way

This book sounds amazing! What do you mean by not very fashionable? I don't usually like the classic love story but the unfaithfulness gives it an edge that I love. The fact that its told from a mutual friend is nice because it should give you a better idea of the whole picture instead of part of it. I think you did an excellant job of describing this book, and if you really feel like your there watching the whole thing should be a great read.
