About this audiobook
No one - fictional or factual - embodies the Jazz age as completely as F. Scott Fitzgerald's Jay Gatsby. First published in 1925, this legendary novel continues to enthrall generations as it serves as a lens to view our not-so-distant past. Many of our notions about that period are taken from the pages of this book. Bathtub gin, flappers, and house parties that last all week enliven Fitzgerald's classic tale. Stylish and engaging, The Great Gatsby is also a startling literate portrait of Gatsby's search for meaning in his opulent world. With his sharp social insight and breathtaking lyricism, Fitzgerald stands out as one of the most important American writers of the 20th century. Frank Muller's timeless interpretation enhances the imagery of Gatsby's stylish and unfulfilling world with brilliance and insight beyond the printed word.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Honestly, where to begin?
I'm so glad it was short, so, I didn't suffer for long.
It was dry and pretentious.
The narrator was nothing but a rag doll, pushed and pulled wherever whenever the story needed building. Homie got literally dragged to meet his cousin's husband's mistress, and, showed 0 emotions, but, on another occasion _I guess the story was falling apart_ lo and behold, the rag doll was capable of having feelings. Boring punk a**, b****.
I also didn't like the whole atmosphere, I guess I was suppose to say "oh la la look at all the debauchery" ?
Was I supposed to root for this mentally ill lunatic who's stalking a married woman?!
I guess if this was a thriller I would totally have a different opinion ? but, unfortunately, no, this is a story about how bitches and "hysterical" _the author's words not mine _women are. How we ruin poor poor men with our hysterical and greedy idiotic ways. ?
