Beschreibung

Invited to an extravagantly lavish party in a Long Island mansion, Nick Carraway, a young bachelor who has just settled in the neighbouring cottage, is intrigued by the mysterious host, Jay Gatsby, a flamboyant but reserved self-made man with murky business interests and a shadowy past. As the two men strike up an unlikely friendship, details of Gatsby’s impossible love for amarried woman emerge, until events spiral into tragedy. Regarded as Fitzgerald’s masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of American literature, The Great Gatsby is a vivid chronicle of the excesses and decadence of the Jazz Age, as well as a timeless cautionary critique of the American dream.

I wanted to read this because I absolutely adore the movie and I can now say: The movie portrays the story very well and I got only a little more information that is exclusively mentioned in the book (but isn't really important to the story)

I've already seen the movie and I have to confess: If it wouldn't have been Leonardo DiCaprio who played the main role, I wouldn't have been interested in this book/movie. I liked it, especially the "plot twist" with the accident. I had my difficulty with this book at the beginning and it wasn't until Gatsby "appeared" in the narration that I found it interesting. The spelling style was a little bit strange at the beginning but I adjusted to it and was in a reading rush in the end (read 130 pages at one day). Well there weren't any surprises I didn't know before, so it's just ok. But I like the story somehow which is why I gave it three stars instead of two. Nick is quite boring to be honest and it's so clear that Gatsby and Daisy remain in the focus. But if you've seen the movie you don't have to read this book. Luhrmann did a great job and Leo also.
