A literary achievement for any writer is to create a fictional character so real that the reader believes they lived. In the case of James Bond, this fictional character was borrowed by so many writers that the encyclopedia lists James Bond as a living person. Renee Kennedy will make you believe Jay Gatsby is a living person in history. The story is set in an era when autos and planes among other invented technologies are new to society and adds more interest to the reader. The novel promotes good morals and encourages parents to love their children.

God is love, and love softens any heart. The inspirational and motivational message for daily living is to cherish every gift of love from God. Why? Tragedy may strike at any time! A loved one can be lost in a moment. Many today may enjoy love but have forgotten who the source of love is. A hardened heart through force of habit may forget God.

Gatsby forgets God when he loses his family and forgets his family when he fights in WWII. God gave Jay Gatsby victory over the sting of death; God is watching us all from a distance. This book captures how love between a man and woman should truly be embraced, and no matter what losses one may face, romance or love should be remembered, not forgotten.

The love of The Great Jay Gatsby should not only be for his family but also for his God. Nothing may separate us from God's love.
