Negative Positive
Title: Always modern and relevant
Review: The Great Gatsby is now 87 years old and still feels fresh, edgy, modern, and still has something fundamental to say about the American experience. The writing is stunningly beautiful and whole paragraphs deserve to be savored again and again. Yet the story is bluntly sad and tragic. It's a story about chasing after elusive dreams -- once you seem to have reached these them, they evaporate. Fitzgerald packs a lot of punch, style, and tragedy into less than 200 pages. I loved traveling back to New York in the 1920s and spending some time peering into these character's lives. I also just loved reading the words of an absolutely brilliant writer.
