An undisputed masterpiece of twentieth-century literature, perfect for Fitzgerald lovers and classics collectors alike.

Set against a backdrop of jazz music, bootlegging, and lavish parties, The Great Gatsby is the story of Midwesterner Nick Carraway’s curious introduction to the decadent world of his mysterious, wealthy neighbor Jay Gatsby, whose thirst for riches is matched only by his tragic obsession with the beautiful Daisy Buchanan.

Penned in the “roaring twenties,” the novel continues to be the subject of numerous film and stage adaptations and has become a fixture in the American classroom. This dangerously propulsive tale of glitz and glamour continues to be relevant as listeners long for escapist novels—a chance to flee into Gatsby’s famed mansion and lose oneself in the rush of opulence.

The Great Gatsby audiobook is brought to life by Tim Robbins, famed American actor, screenwriter, director, producer, and musician.

This story never gets old. It is a vivid portrait of the societal consequences of "turn of the century " modernization

A great classic read by a great actor

Tim Robbins does a FANTASTIC job as the multitude of players in Mr. Fitzgerald's classic. He grips you listening on and on.

Alive and Wild! I finished it same day.

I remember disliking "The Great Gatsby" in high school four decades ago but, back then, I don't think I understood why. I cannot say that it is one of my favorites now, even after so many years. But, today, with the majority of my years behind me, I better understand the shallow and temporary joy that comes from money, fame and status. I also have witnessed the tragedy of loneliness that comes from pretencious living and acting out expectes roles with no authenticity or depth of relationship.

Good to revisit 42 years later

Probably one of the best books ever written. If you read it in high school read it again as an adult. It’s much better.

Excellent narration, incredible story and writing

This comes off as a badly done Tennessee Williams play done by incompetent eighth graders. The book is a classic but the reading is horrendously awful.

Worst reading possible.

The title says it all. I already own a couple of Gatsby audiobooks and have read this novel several times. The message is ageless. The prose is beautiful. Some passages are so descriptive that I would swear I can feel the sun, the air exactly as described.

I purchased this version because of my love for Tim Robbins in Shawshank. Figured he might bring some nuance to the voices or lines that I hadn't considered. Sadly, this reading is awful. He MUMBLES the final half of every sentence. Other times, he shouts, making it so that I can't get the volume right. His impression of drunk people is so over the top that the words are lost.

Funny enough, everyone in the book gets a ridiculous voice except Gatsby, who is so dull-sounding and meek that I didn't realize at first who Robbins was 'playing'.

I should've quit at the beginning, but we can no longer return cash purchases...

Wonderful story ruined by a bad performance

This a cheap imitation of some of Ernest Hemingway lesser novels, namely “ the sun also rises”.
I tried my best to find an iota of talent in this book. Tim Robins voice dies into inaudible whisper at the end of long sentences like a chain smoker who runs out of wind. I can’t believe it’s a recommended reading for high school children in 2022. It’s money poorly spent on this book.

Untalented writer at his worst.
