About this listen
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.

For me, this is a story about how a person can change everything about themselves to fit someone else's needs—their way of dressing, talking, behaving, and even thinking. Yet, despite all these changes, the other person can still choose not to be with you.
It's a story that encourages us to live our lives however we want, whether that's a lavish lifestyle or a simple one. The key is to make these decisions for ourselves, not for others. When you live your life for another person, you stop living it for yourself.

If you could sum up The Great Gatsby in three words, what would they be?
Excellent Descriptive WritingWho was your favorite character and why?
Mr J Gatsby was by far my favorite! He came from such a poor family and transformed himself into this great man all for the love of one woman! WOW!What does Jake Gyllenhaal bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Jake brings his own style to the book with his different "voices" and the way he reads is enchanting!Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Sort of...the ending is very shocking and the way it unfolds kind of takes you by surprise.The Great GREAT Gatsby
