Great Gatsby

I actually have no clue on what this book will be like. The only thing I have heard about it is the name. My research was about the roaring twenties, the author, and the alcohol prohibition. The book could be about an alcoholic that is trying to quit drinking but is addicted and spends all of his money on illegal drinks. I am not really sure what it is about. I am actually excited to read it because I like to read and have not read a novel in a long time. But my book type is fantasy and sci-fi. So I could end up hating this book and stopping at the 2nd chapter. The most interesting thing that I found in my research was about the banning of alcohol. The facts I found made it seem like everyone was still drinking it. Politicians and civilians both were drinking it. And some wine and hard cider was allowed to be made at home. This ban was doomed to fail. Alcohol was just too much a part of everyday life to be taking away.
