The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

The book, The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald is an overall good read. The plot is easy to comprehend and there are no stones that are left unturned. Every question that the reader may have in the beginning of the story is answered by the end. It is entertaining and the characters are well put together. The summer of 1922 is quite eventful for young Nick Carraway, and the ending is unexpected. Each character goes through some turmoil within the story, which makes it interesting. Fitzgerald does a nice job drawing the reader into the book. From the first page it is apparent that the book will not be dull. This book is a must read and can be read understood by almost anyone.

An Ex to Grind By Jane Teller

An Ex to Grind by Jane Teller is definitely a book that would appeal to women, just to see how Melanie Banks, the main character, works out her issues and overcomes her problems.
Jane Teller gets straight to the point, which is the plot of the entire story; Melanie Banks, a successful business partner, is getting divorced and is now being forced to pay alimony to her jobless ex-husband. Banks doesn’t want to keep paying alimony, so she hires a matchmaker and sets her husband up; however, in the end, she feels extremely bad.

The author draws the reader into the book with her sense of comic relief and sarcasm that makes the reader not only laugh but feel like she is talking to them. The book was extremely interesting at all parts of the story and made me want to keep reading to find out what would happen next. I think that there could have been more problems that would make the story more interesting

I would definitely recommend this book to someone else. However, I would recommend it to another woman, because it is kind of a chick flick but in a book. Other men wouldn’t enjoy the negativity towards them and how the book feels women are superior with “a sense of above men.”
