A review by mxnhtrv
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
4.0
Do you remember around this time last year the whole social media went crazy about that girl with the solid 10 on literature for the university entrance exam? Right after that, fed up with vicious criticism as the comment section kept inflating to adapt to the netizens' gloat, I dropped this book with a disgusting feeling. Well, if they thought having read a book equals the right to bash the whole education system under their shoes then I will give them that privilege.
But now, a particular person has been the reason I came back and completed this piece, engrossed in English and Vietnamese versions simultaneously, plus pages of critique, dive down earnestly days and nights. That's a quite wild trip, due to Fitzgerald's penmanship, and the whole midsummer atmosphere repressed.
Nonetheless, there will be no specific review, over 2 million existing ones are already enough. I just want to recommend you guys to read some analyses on the meaning of "Great", Gatsby's concern with time, the American dream, Nick the narrator, and a bunch of Easter eggs to literature, architecture, musical, philosophic masterpieces. Or maybe I will extend this review someday when I end my phase as a sloth. Bye.
