Book Reviews of The Great Gatsby

Book Review: The ultimate privileges of the rich
Summary: 5 Stars

In a world where a football star can commit murder and get away with it, and a family of rich and famous politicians can trash those who stand in the way of reelection, Fitzgerald could never have been more correct. When he wrote in "Gatsby" that the rich are different, he seems to have had some sort of prophetic genuis. They certainly are different. The way in which Tom and Daisy were able to leave their problems behind is not so dissimilar to the kind of privilege which is flaunted by those who abuse such privilege today. I can't help but feel that even Fitzgerald could never have imagined the depth of arrogance which our rich and infamous have reached today.
