Gatsby review

The Great Gatsby was a very intresting and exciting novel. I found Gatsby himself a very intresting character. Although he was was insecure, he was a very smart man. He was insecure because he had to hide his true identity and create a second personality. Although he was a liar, he was smart because he had a constant group of friends who were unable to reveal his true identity. I thought it was an interesting story line, and it was crazy how Gatsby threw all these crazy parties and attempted a lavish lifestyle, but at the end of the book, only three people attended his funeral. This book also taught me the lesson that it is better to make a legitimate life and struggle then be a bootlegger, because I would not like to get shot after being falsly accused of murdering some man's wife. In conclusion I enjoyed The Great Gatsby because I learned that if the people you are associated with don't really know who you are, or if you don't act like yourself, the people you think mean most to you will not be there in the long run.
