From the back cover: "Jay Gatsby is the man Who has everything. But one thing will always be out of his reach...
Everybody who is anybody is seen at his glittering parties. Day and night his Long Island mansion buzzes with bright young things drinking, dancing and debating his mysterious character. For Gatsby - young, handsome, fabulously rich - always seems alone in the crowd, watching and waiting, though no one knows what for.
Beneath the shimmering surface of his life he is hiding a secret: a silent longing that can never be fulfilled. And soon this destructive obsession will force his world to unravel. "

The Great Gatsby is considered to be a literary classic and therefore a must read. I'm not a great fan of 1920s, but decided to widen my horizons a bit. The book really surprised me and, against my expectations, I ended really liking it. The Great Gatsby is a first book from F. Scott Fitzgerald that I have read and I'm looking forward to read more from him.

With this book I'm participating in the triple-challenge by Delenna (p. 115, Hot! Hot! Hot!)
