This is a book I have always had the intention of reading, but since I was going to see the movie this past weekend, I finally did it! It was a much better story than I anticipated. The "surface" story revolves around Jay Gatsby, his love of Daisy Buchanan, Daisy's husband, Tom, and the story's narrator, Nick Carraway (who is also Daisy's cousin.) It is also a commentary on that period in United States history--the great division between the "haves" and the "have nots." It's an engrossing, beautifully written work.
