Synopsis :

Spring 1922. The era was favorable to the relaxation of morals, the rise of jazz and the enrichment of alcohol smugglers... An apprentice writer, Nick Carraway left the Middle West region to settle in New York. Wanting his share of the American dream, he now lives surrounded by a mysterious millionaire, Jay Gatsby, who dizzies himself in worldly parties, and his cousin Daisy and her fickle husband, Tom Buchanan, of noble blood.

Review :

It was difficult for me to take place on the right time-line of the book and some of the scenes got on my nerves, but even though, I laughed hard on some others and almost cried at the end.

The story is well writen, the charachters are good for the most part but the best part of the book was the introduction of Gatsby, he was the center of the book before his first entrance and took the place until the last page.
