The Great Gatsby Grade 12 Book Review
F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is a timeless classic that explores the decadence and
excess of the Roaring Twenties. The novel follows the story of Jay Gatsby, a mysterious and
wealthy man who becomes infatuated with a former love, Daisy Buchanan. Through Gatsby's
pursuit of Daisy, Fitzgerald delves into themes of love, obsession, and the corrupting nature of
wealth and power.

The writing in The Great Gatsby is masterful, with Fitzgerald's prose painting a vivid picture of
the opulence and excess of the era. The characters are well-developed and complex, each with
their own motivations and flaws. Gatsby, in particular, is a tragic and sympathetic figure, whose
blind pursuit of love ultimately leads to his downfall.

The novel also serves as a commentary on the societal issues of the time, such as the
disillusionment of the American Dream and the moral decay of the wealthy elite. Fitzgerald
expertly weaves these themes into the narrative, making The Great Gatsby not just an
entertaining read, but also a thought-provoking one.

Overall, The Great Gatsby is a must-read for any literature student or lover of classic literature.
Its themes and characters are as relevant today as they were nearly a century ago, and
Fitzgerald's writing is a testament to his mastery of the English language. A truly great novel that
is highly recommended
