A review by aayusi
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Anne Collins
5.0
Gatsby, the poor son of a bitch, stole my heart. ⠀
⠀
Like all the other books I love, this was a melancholic beauty, a book that spoke of love and it's timelessness, of emotions and the twisted little things we humans are. ⠀
⠀
Nick, our narrator, is often mistaken to be idiolizing Gatsby - the protagonist - but I beg to differ here. It isn't Gatbsy that he idolized ( as he says ' I disapproved of him from beginning to end' ) but the pure, incorruptible love he harboured for the girl ' who sounds like money'. ⠀
⠀
There is so much passion in this beautiful book that me talking about it would do no justice to Fitzgerald's work. I want you to pick this up, experience it first hand. I want you to meet the snobbish but super smart ( open to a healthy debate ) Daisy, the jerk Tom Buchanan and the smart and able Ms. Jordan. I want you to smile at Nick's story when he talks about the East and Gatsby's huge parties. I want you to feel forlorn when no one turns up at his funeral. ⠀
⠀
For someone like me, who loves to live in the past, the book was a treat.⠀
⠀
Gatsby was not a good man, or so people say, but I beg to differ. I don't approve of him or his ways, but I hope and wish that someone, someday loves me half as much he loved Daisy. That they love me even if I am alive on in their yesterdays.⠀
⠀
Is it too hankering of me? Or do you relate?⠀
