Publisher's Summary

Audie Award Finalist, Classic, 2014

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic American novel of the Roaring Twenties is beloved by generations of readers and stands as his crowning work. This new audio edition, authorized by the Fitzgerald estate, is narrated by Oscar-nominated actor Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain). Gyllenhaal's performance is a faithful delivery in the voice of Nick Carraway, the Midwesterner turned New York bond salesman, who rents a small house next door to the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby. There, he has a firsthand view of Gatsby’s lavish West Egg parties - and of his undying love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan.

After meeting and losing Daisy during the war, Gatsby has made himself fabulously wealthy. Now, he believes that his only way to true happiness is to find his way back into Daisy’s life, and he uses Nick to try to reach her. What happens when the characters’ fantasies are confronted with reality makes for a startling conclusion to this iconic masterpiece.

This special audio edition joins the upcoming film - as well as many other movie, radio, theater, and even video-game adaptations - as a fitting tribute to the cultural significance of Fitzgerald’s Jazz Age classic, widely regarded as one of the greatest stories ever told.

Great story, wonderful narration

I had never read this novel, listening to the audiobook narration by Jake Gyllenhal was my first time encountering The Great Gatsby. The writing was beautiful, the themes struck a chord with me and the narration was excellent. Highly recommend.

Very slow start for a book.

Well the narration was good, but the book lacked the required start it needed. An old school classic novel nonetheless!

The book was captivating to say the least.

The Great Gatsby is like crashing the coolest party in the 1920s. You're chilling with Nick, getting sucked into Gatsby's world of crazy-rich folks and their tangled love dramas. It's all flashy glamour on the outside, but deep down, it's a rollercoaster of dreams, heartaches, and the bitter taste of chasing the unattainable. Fitzgerald sure knows how to spin a tale that's both dazzling and kinda heartbreaking.

I totally loved the plot and more so because how it was narrated.

Teenage Memories

Took me back by 10 years, when I was 19 and had first read the book. The narration is brilliant.
