The Great Gatsby is told from the perspective of Nick Carraway as he retells his experience on Long Island with his cousin, Daisy, and his friend, Jay Gatsby. Gatsby spends the entirety of the book attempting to win Daisy’s affections. When he finally does, it leads to trouble for everyone close to them.  

 

The Great Gatsby is truly a classic. Throughout the novel, the reader is entertained by Carraway’s descriptions of parties and life as an outsider of the elite. As the story develops, the reader will be captivated by the intensity of Daisy’s and Gatsby’s relationship, as well as all the trouble that ensues because of it. This is a great book for both academic and leisurely reading.
