the great gatsby

It had been a while since I had read the Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, though it was worth the reread. The book is written in the eyes of Nick Carraway whom moves from the Midwest to a spot in Long Island during the Roaring Twenties. Nick is introduced to an elite social class by his second cousin Daisy and her husband Tom. The book peers into the richest upper crust of society though what is considered Nick's "innocent and harmless" midwestern view point. The book is filled with drinking, debauchery, social espionage and intrigue. As the book does center around their gathering over a summer, the book does finish in mid Autumn which adds to its timeliness.
