5.0

The writing style is one of my favorite things in this book, some people struggles to like Fitzgerald character, but that's what makes this book so interesting, this rich people is flawed and self centered, they only care for appearance, just as the time this book is set in, the glamour is hollow and a mask to hide the darkness in their heart. The main theme is the past, Gatsby obsession with the green light is the best example of it, in the end it was this obsession that lead to his death.
