The Great Gatsby<\/em> by F. Scott Fitzgerald<\/h2>\n

\"five-stars\"<\/p>\n

Summary: \u00a0Jay\u00a0Gatsby\u00a0had once loved beautiful, spoiled Daisy Buchanan, then lost her to a rich boy. Now, mysteriously wealthy, he is ready to risk everything to woo her back. This is the definitive, textually accurate edition of a classic of twentieth-century literature, The\u00a0Great\u00a0Gatsby. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay\u00a0Gatsby\u00a0and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan has been acclaimed by generations of readers. But the first edition contained a number of errors resulting from\u00a0Fitzgerald’s extensive revisions and a rushed production schedule.<\/a><\/p>\n

Review:<\/p>\n

I love this book!!! It’s exactly like the movie. Daisy is the worst person, in my opinion, and feel like it had a very sad ending. It is a fun book to read but i wouldn’t suggest reading it if you want a happy ending. I love this book because it doesn’t have a happy ending like every other book and is very unique in that matter, although the person that died was my favorite character it shows how true life was back in the 20’s.\u00a05 stars. –Tamar, teen reviewer<\/p>\n
