Is the Great Gatsby good?

The Great Gatsby has done good by helping people realize not everything is as it seems. For example, when looking at Tom and Daisy's marriage everything may seem wonderful. They are very rich, have a huge house, and are starting a family. However, Tom is constantly cheating on Daisy and abandoned her when she was giving birth to their daughter. Also, the audience realizes that there is more to Gatsby. Gatsby also is very rich, and hosts huge parties at his enormous house. But Gatsby isn't a stereotypical rich person who only cares about money and nothing else. He has been completely devoted to Daisy and loved her for the past five years. I think this book does a good job of making the audience aware that not everything is as it seems. This novel embodies the term "don't judge a book by its cover".
