I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook and would highly recommend this version of The Great Gatsby. The narrator has a delightful voice, and his rhythm and cadence were perfect for Fitzgerald's particular style of writing.

Still didn't like it


(3 Sterne)

I had to read this back in the late 1960s and hated. With so many years behind me now I figured I owed it to this "great American novel" to give it another go. I Still hated it, maybe even more than before. I couldn't give one hoot to all the vapid, overprivileged rich people. I wouldn't want to know any of them in real life. On the plus side, Fitzgerald writing is often lyrical, and this reader excellent. Frankly I can't understand why so many consider this to be such an excellent novel.

Great reeder and story

This is my second time reading this book. Non of the characters except maybe the narrator are likable, but it’s such a well written book that I will always love it. Also I think the point isn’t to like the people, but to understand them and see where unfiltered desires really take a person. The reader was perfect.

Brilliant

I love every one of the Librivox readers I have listened to over the many years, and so appreciate their talent and efforts. Adrian Wilson, in particular, has such a lovely voice, delivery & cadence ... real professional quality. I want to express my gratitude to Adrian for such a brilliant read. Thank you, Sir.
