Review of 'The "Great Gatsby" and "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz"' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Surprisingly good read considering how many people have claimed this book is overrated. 3.5-4/5 stars if I were to be more accurate with my rating.

I think the ending is my favourite part of this book, there is something so relieving and refreshing about Gatsby's death that can only really be explained as him finally resting. Gatsby's death means he is freed from his obsession with Daisy, he is no longer conscious about everything he has to design and portrayed his life to be, and in a way can be looked at as closure.
