What can I say about this book?! It was definitely interesting. The book is short, easy to follow, and brilliantly captures the atmosphere of the 1920s, a period of extravagance and social change in America. The engaging plot pulls you into that world, making you curious about what has happened and eager to see what will happen next. In my opinion, the highlight of The Great Gatsby is its final chapter, where everything comes together, and the true meaning of the story shines through. The brilliance of the author is in how he builds up to that moment, making us question whether we can really bring the past back if we try hard enough. It also reflects on what truly matters in life and how people can become blinded by things that, in the end, may not be as important as they seem.
