The Great Gatsby

By: Francis Scott Fitzgerald

Narrated by: Erica Escalona

When F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby in the early 1920s, the American Dream was already on the skids. Originally based on the idea that the pursuit of happiness involves not only material success but moral and spiritual growth, the dream had by Fitzgerald's time become increasingly focused on money and pleasure—a phenomenon the high-living writer was only too familiar with.

Narrator

To be honest I’m kind of disappointed with the narrator. I appreciate her taking her time for the audiobook but it felt flat and unenthusiastic unlike a lot of other books I’ve listened to. Just my opinion though. Good read👍

Not my Cup of Tea

Having a woman read the book when the main character of the book was a man threw me off for several chapters. I found the story difficult to follow.

Fine book

The narration had plenty mistakes and there wasn’t enough distinction between male and female characters.

Narration is terrible

Couldn’t hold the attention of a live oak. The narrator was a horrible choice for this novel

Yes yes yes

Yes I liked it because I had to read it for Honors English 11. Awesome book I genuinely believe.
