Summary
"The Great Gatsby", F. Scott Fitzgerald's third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. First published in 1925, this quintessential novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story of the mysteriously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when The New York Times noted "gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession," it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.

Good story, background noises in the recording
There are some really odd background noises in this recording. It sounds like children playing. The narrator doesn't put in much effort to perform different voice for different characters, so can be confusing at time.

A Great Story
Very enjoyable, even better than the movie, it was shorter than I thought, I listened to it in one afternoon.

Beautiful story. Mediocre reading. Background noises intruding
The reading is ok - not really capturing the utter beauty of this book, and it has some odd dialogue renditions. But the strangest thing (I thought I was hallucinating at first, but rewound to check the second time it occurred) is noise of children seeping in. A broom cupboard lockdown project? Which is admirable in a way and good luck to them. I did only pay 78 pence, so I can’t complain too much.
If you want just to get through the text for an exam this could work. But if you want an exceptional rendition, true to the quality of the writing, try the Jake Gyllenhaal reading, which I bought instead.
