It is completely undeniable that from the first page of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and forward, I was absolutely in love with this book. The way is reads is almost like poetry. It flows so well and the exquisite description brings you right into the scene with the other characters. He doesn't have to give lengthy descriptions to show what something looks like in detail for his word choice says it all in just a few words. The story line just keeps getting thicker and thicker and I find myself having to be forced to put the book down so that I don't get too far ahead of the class. It's so easy to become wrapped up in this story. There's so much to find out. What's going to happen with Tom, Daisy, and Myrtle? What's Gatsby's big secret? There are so many questions to be answered in so few pages. With the reading thus far, I believe I may have found my new favorite book.
