'The Great Gatsby' is one of the MOST exquisite books I have ever read That to date deals with MOST if not all aspects of love and the challenges of life. There is so much to learn Especially For us in this modern world Where So Many people use the word 'love' without really Knowing what it truly means clustering. The author is so descriptive Sometimes That I felt as if I Was in the story. He made it easy for readers to Penetrate the souls of the characters and relates to Their Lives. The character development is prodigious, while prose is outstanding. I felt as much for Gatsby as I have for Any Other character. He HAD HAD always high aspirations, dreams Were His goal taken away from _him_ by the fact the he Had to fight a war, and he Could never be the same again. Gatsby's ambition is to form-have His love, who is now married to an unfaithful husband, a quest That saw outstanding twist and turns in the story to make it the great-have we read so much about Heard. This book is truly inspirational for everyone irrespective of race, gender, age or occupation. Also recommended: DISCIPLES OF FORTUNE, THE USURPER AND OTHERS, THE SCARLET LETTER
