The Great Gatsby (Pocket Classic) Paperback – 1 April 2018

Nice book

The book is genuinely pocket size. Easy to carry and read. The font might be a bit small for older people but just fine for me. The paper quality is a bit low which can be expected for the price. Doesn't have a long life but readers get their money's worth

I found a reference to this while reading Haruki Murakmi's Norwegian Wood’.Story of Jay Gatsby and Daisy. With line“He smiled understandingly—much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced—or seemed to face—the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey.”

The Great Gatsby is one of the best American novels of all time. I will not spoil anything in this review in the slightest because I want everyone to enjoy it to the fullest. It is truly a remarkable story and reflects well enough the reality of human nature and its vices. Everyone must read this at least once.

Recently purchased a copy of "The Great Gatsby" from Amazon, and I must say, it was an interesting experience. The first thing that caught my eye was the unbelievably low price. While I was initially skeptical, I decided to give it a shot.Upon receiving the book, I discovered that it was indeed a knockoff of the original with 152 pages instead of the “shown” 232 pages. However, what surprised me was the slightly better quality compared to most other pirated books. The pages were clean, and the text was legible, which made for a relatively enjoyable reading experience.In a way, this knockoff version offered a unique perspective on the classic novel. The shorter length never condensed the story, and focused on the core elements and theme. It felt like a fresh take on a familiar tale, which, surprisingly, wasn't all that bad.While I wouldn't recommend this version for academic purposes or for those seeking the complete, unaltered text, it could be an intriguing addition to the collection of Gatsby enthusiasts who appreciate an unexpected twist on a literary classic. In the end, it provided a different angle on a timeless story, and for the price, it was an interesting journey into the world of Jay Gatsby.

I want to start of by stating that I purchased the paperback edition (Official Film Edition) published by Picador USA / Pan Macmillan. The poster of the 2013 movie adaptation serves as the cover design. This is a great edition with a bold and large typeface which makes reading an absolute delight. This is an often overlooked feature when people select books and I believe more reviewers should make a mention of it for the benefit of future buyers.The review:It goes without saying that this is one of the great American novels of the twentieth century - and it's reputation is not without reason. The prose is elegant and poetic and incomparable to anything else from the period during which it was written - America of the roaring 1920's. I have never read a book twice, and this is the only one. This, in my mind, is testament to the sheer quality and timelessness of the great work of art.I would like to end this review on a note of caution: do not get into this book expecting to find a great plot because there isn't one. This is one of those rare gems (and the only one I know of, in my very limited experience) which carries the reader through solely on the strength of it's prose. For readers who are interested in watching the film adaptation, I recommend the 2013 - Baz Luhrman version, which by the way, is a pretty nifty piece of entertainment by itself.

Its easy to read nd carry

The paper quality is very good, there are no mistakes in it. And don't worry, it the same as the book was in the image.A little con of this product is that I have a little problem of focusing when the words and book is small.Otherwise seeing the price it's a beautiful book.
