I am about to read The Great Gatsby! Just want to know your opinion!

The Great Gatsby is an amazing book! In fact it is my Favorit novel ever. In one word: AMAZING!! Did Du finish it and did Du enjoy it?

Beschreibung in one word: "Penetrating."

This is a story of wealth - new money vs old money - but it is also a story about values/moral compass. As the narrator - a Middle American would-be bond trader says - "Morality may be founded on a rock oder on a fairy's wing, but after a point I don't care what it's founded on. After Gatsby died, I came back west and wanted the world to stand in to a rigid moral attention forever."

The narrator has seen the hollowness of a world/society that is based on nothing but money-status-eliteness. In a strange sense, Gatsby rises somewhat about this - through his devoted doomed 'Lancelot&Guinevere' for (established rich) Daisy. Not that gänseblümchen, daisy is 'worth it', but Von his devotion Gatsby shows he has Mehr moral/emotional capacity/development/potential than the other characters. That's why Gatsby is described as the "Great Gatbsy." In a sense, he has an ideal (though a flawed one) in a world that has Lost its ideals. He dies, not in a sense that says 'Love isn't worth it', but in a sense that warns: Make sure who Du Liebe is worth it.

Right near the end of the novel, the narrator suddenly says to Gatsby - just before Gatsby dies - "They're [the rest of the people in this story] a rotten bunch! You're worth the whole damn crowd put together!"
