The Great Gatsby

De: F. Scott Fitzgerald

Narrado por: Tanner Buchanan

An all-new recording of the beloved F. Scott Fitzgerald classic, narrated by actor Tanner Buchanan, star of Cobra Kai and the Netflix film He’s All That.

Hailed as one of the Great American Novels, The Great Gatsby delves into the dark corners of the Jazz Age to tell a tragic tale of obsession, love, and the gritty underbelly of the American Dream. Through the eyes of unassuming narrator Nick Carraway, the story follows the enigmatic Jay Gatsby as he chases the object of his hopeless desire, the beautiful Daisy Buchanan.

Years after first meeting Daisy, when he was merely a penniless soldier, Gatsby has remade himself into an eccentric millionaire, throwing lavish parties at his New York mansion every weekend with the hope of enticing the woman of his dreams into his reach. It is through these parties that Nick, Daisy’s cousin, first meets Gatsby and learns of his deep, unrelenting love. When at last Gatsby and the now-married Daisy reunite, the consequences of their illicit affair will reverberate through the lives of everyone around them.

An illuminating exploration of the deleterious effects of unrequited love, social stigmas, and unchecked capitalism, The Great Gatsby is an elegant yet unforgiving novel that will keep you hooked until the very last word.

Enjoyable

I’ve always loved this book, and Tanner did an amazing job narrating. I’m glad I found it.

watch movie instead

it's a beautiful story but it's hard to understand the narrators point of view without visuals. after chapter two I just turned on the movie on prime and was very much more understanding of the narrators view. Words can't really describe how intricate the relationships are between the characters in this book. I recommend watching the movie 🎬 because its superb.

I see why this is a classic

This author Doesn't dumb it down for his audience. He shows his readers respect In his subtlety. And drives his points home with poignancy And grace

The great American novel!

This is my favorite novel of all time and it was made even better by the beautiful narration! This recording and the one with Jake Gyllenhaal are my favorite listens of the great Gatsby. If I could give it 10 stars I would. A fantastic recording. Very well done.

Tanner Buchanan reading is fantastic

I’ve listened to several audiobooks and this dramatic reading by Tanner Buchanan has been my favorite audio narration - performance. Tanner’s narration voice is smooth and calming, while his character voices are lively and transformative, drawing you deep into the emotion of the story.

What a Great Performance

I’ve listened to many different readers perform one of my favorite novels, and Tanner Buchanan’s reading surpasses them all. Other Audible reads would benefit greatly from his talents!

The greatest American novel

The story of one man and an entire nation at the same time. Beautiful and insightful. The reader was serviceable but by no means extraordinary.

Tanner Does it again!!

Tanners voice and characters are so enchanting! He really does bring the story to life!

Tanner Buchanan is one of the best Narrators!

Tanner Buchanan makes an already great story that much better.

I'm not a big fan of audiobooks. I prefer to hold a book in my hand and see the words. I have become so busy that sitting down to read has become a luxury that I often can't afford. As such, I have delved into the world of audiobooks, and I have been disappointed multiple times. Immediately upon hearing Tanner's voice you are drawn in. His voice is soothing yet keeps you engaged and is distinct of each character in the book. I have not enjoyed another audio book as much as I have has this one and will likely listen again. I hope to hear him narrate many more.

If you have not listened to this version of The Great Gatsby I urge you to do so. You will not find a better version. If you have not read or listened to The Great Gatsby I urge you to do that in any fashion. It is an engaging and sad story of lost love.

Fantastic book with excellent narration

I’ve always wanted to read “The Great Gatsby” but never make time to read for pleasure anymore. It was so great to be able to have the experience of “reading” it with an audiobook, since I can listen while driving etc.

I listened to the beginnings of three different versions and chose this one because I liked this narrator best. He reads it with heart and sensitivity and at a well-measured, non-rushed pace that was far superior to the others I sampled. Highly recommended.
