Personal Opinion:
If you enjoy drama and tragic love stories… this book is for you. “The Great Gatsby” shows how chasing dreams, money, and the past can lead to sadness.
The writing is beautiful and the characters are very interesting.
I liked how Gatsby believed in love and worked so hard for his dreams, but in the end, he was left alone. This story makes you think about what truly matters in life. It also shows how wealthy people can be careless and only think about themselves, while someone like Gatsby, who was full of hope, ends up forgotten.
It’s a powerful and emotional story that stays with you. It’s a great book and a classic that everyone should read at least once.
