Title: The Best Novel of All Time
Review: I am a writer and I re-read "The Great Gatsby" once a year just to be inspired by the master wordsmith of all fiction literature. Although the characters and the period are dated, the craftsmanship of F. Scott Fitzgerald cannot be equaled. I defy anyone to pick a better word, for ANY word that Fitzgerald used in this epic novel.Though it was not a monetary success when first published (Fitzgerald actually made a living by writing short fiction for magazines and was paid enormous prices for his work when America was in a depression) the fact that it still sells the huge volume of copies each year speaks to its appreciation by those who love perfect prose.With the ease of writing these days (he wrote in long hand) it is a shame that there is not one novelist today who can match Fitzgerald's genius for putting words together.
