Historia
A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, The Sun Also Rises introduces two of Hemingway’s most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. In his first great literary masterpiece, Hemingway portrays an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions.

If the Roaring Twenties are remembered as the era of "flaming youth," it was F. Scott Fitzgerald who lit the fire. His semiautobiographical first novel, This Side of Paradise, became an instant bestseller and established an image of seemingly carefree, party-mad young men and women out to create a new morality for a new, post-war America.

The year is 1912 and an oblivious world is on the brink of war. Castorp’s friend Joachim Ziemssen is taking the cure and a three-week visit seems a perfect break before work begins.

Two armed men board a 727 that has been all but forgotten at an airfield in Angola. Hijacking the jet, they then slit the throat of the lone crew and fly to parts unknown. The consternation is immediate, as the CIA, FBI, and other agencies race to find out what happened, in the process elbowing one another in the sides a little too vigorously. Fed up, the president of the United States turns to an outside investigator to determine the truth.

The Bell Jar chronicles the crack-up of Esther Greenwood: brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful but slowly going under - maybe for the last time. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther's breakdown with such intensity that Esther's insanity becomes completely real and even rational, as probable and accessible an experience as going to the movies. Such deep penetration into the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche is an extraordinary accomplishment and has made The Bell Jar a haunting American classic.

J. Robert Oppenheimer was one of the iconic figures of the 20th century, a brilliant physicist who led the effort to build the atomic bomb but later confronted the moral consequences of scientific progress. When he proposed international controls over atomic materials, opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb, and criticized plans for a nuclear war, his ideas were anathema to powerful advocates of a massive nuclear buildup during the anti-Communist hysteria of the early 1950s.

Drawing on his memories of the real inhabitants of Monterey, California, Steinbeck interweaves the stories of Doc, Henri, Mack and his boys, and the other characters in this world where only the fittest survive, to create a novel that is at once one of his most humorous and most poignant works.

Resumen del Editor
Fitzgerald's short stories have themes that not only relate to the problems and culture of the Jazz Age, but also to the promises and despair encountered by the youth, as well as the aging. Love and relationships between two mismatched or unlikely characters are common, such as people who are unlikely to develop a spark of romantic interest between each other.
The plots are usually set in the culture of the upper middle class and the elite, with characters either from this social group or aspiring to become part of it. Being inspired by the events that occurred during The Great Depression and the stock market crash, the stories also involve characters who lose wealth, but who are still trying to maintain their opulent lifestyle.
However, Fitzgerald's stories will remain relevant no matter which era listeners are born into, as finding true love and happiness, despite the situation, will always be a common part of the human experience.

Novels:
This Side of Paradise The Beautiful and Damned

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Historia
Grace Evans, an overworked New Yorker looking for a total escape from her busy life, books an Airbnb on a ranch in the middle of Wyoming. When she arrives at the idyllic getaway, she’s pleased to find that the owner is a handsome man by the name of Calvin Wells—and he’s eager to introduce her to his easygoing way of life. But there are things Grace discovers that she’s not too pleased about: a lack of cell phone service. A missing woman. And a feeling that something isn’t right with the ranch.

Historia
When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

Historia
The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

Historia
Renowned as much for her wit and satirical social commentary as for her stories of love and romance, Jane Austen remains unfailingly relevant and one of Britain’s best loved authors. In this Audible Original collection, an all-star list of narrators (Billie Piper, Claire Foy, Emma Thompson, Florence Pugh and Gugu Mbatha-Raw) capture Austen’s pin-sharp humour and tone in these dramatisations of her six beloved novels accompanied by a full cast.

Painful narration
I love FSF, but this listen is robotic, and the narrator mispronounces words with alarming frequency. I couldn't finish.

Can't finish with this reader
If you’ve listened to books by F. Scott Fitzgerald before, how does this one compare?
It's a huge compliment to Fitzgerald that his novels come through with power in spite of the poor performance by Wohlert. The Great Gatsby, read by Tim Robbins, was an experience at a completely different, and higher, level.
Would you be willing to try another one of Jay Wohlert’s performances?
Never. Wohlert mispronounces so badly, and so often, as to distract from the meaning of the story. His timing is terrible, sometimes pausing near the end of a sentence, then starting the next with the last words of the former. He sounds like he's reading individual words, without understanding the very story he's reading. Is there no editor/producer to monitor the quality of the performance?
Any additional comments?
I'm disappointed with Audible for allowing a performance as deadly as Wolhert's onto their reading list.

If Fitzgerald only knew...
Would you listen to The Works of F. Scott Fitzgerald again? Why?
I would listen to some segments again because a well turned phrase is worth keeping.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Not applicable in this review
Would you listen to another book narrated by Jay Wohlert?
In what language? I cannot assuage the "narrator's" ego as he simply does not have command of his own apparent only spoken tongue. The English language should seek succor as Wohlert's massacre of non Anglo-Saxon words and phrases reminds one of the "De Güello" at the Alamo. But, no mercy is shown and the slaughter piques curiosity as to which word is to be mutilated and sacrificed next.In summary, I have listened to other narrated Fitzgerald stories but I will never willingly self inflict another narrated by Wolfort.Before critiquing this review, listen for yourself and then respond.GL
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Any additional comments?
Kindly remember that slander is only classified as slander when what is said is NOT true.
Overall rating is adversely weighted by the anchoring albatross.

MISPRONOUNCED WORDS
I love F. Scott and never mind the readers slow reading style, that's how F. Scott books usually read.
But it became grueling to try and ignore him mispronounce words (WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY). Eventually I found myself looking for the "next" mispronounced word.
Here are a few
impotent, antipathy, imperiously, celtic, modicum, row, automation, erudite, impotency, fatuously, recitation, impudently, sophistry, and 100s more

The man who murdered F. Scott Fitzgerald
The narrator drones on and on in near monotone. His diction is sloppy, he mumbles, fumbles, and trips over half the words he reads, and sounds as if he’s trying (and failing) to hide some strong American dialect underneath a sloppy, midwestern news anchor’s supposed “lack of accent,” resulting in a somewhat unpleasant mush of English language.
It’s reminiscent of listening to high school students reading aloud in class, minus the embarrassed reluctance.
The narrator manages to mispronounce far too many of the words for my comfort. He also clearly doesn’t entirely understand the period’s definitions of many of the words, or most of the idioms, used in the story. I get the impression he’s never read, or at least never properly understood any literary works produced prior to 1980.
The whole thing feels a bit like someone pulled a random man off the street and offered him $50 to read into a microphone for a few hours.
I’m only on chapter three, struggling to stay awake, and feeling slightly grumpy after a couple of hours of Mr. Wohlert’s monotonous and inept narration of Fitzgerald. I’m not sure I’ll be able finish this one.

5th grade reading skills.
The narrator's mispronunciation of common words was a daily source of both irritation and amusement, as was his total disregard for changing voices at appropriate times. It kept me on my toes trying to figure out what the text actually said, at times.

Worst performance by a reader I've ever heard
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Fitzgerald's prose was mutilated by the narrator. He mispronounced word after word and his imitations of female and other voices were very distracting. I finally had to quit listening to it.
If you’ve listened to books by F. Scott Fitzgerald before, how does this one compare?
Compares extremely unfavorably. This involves his very early work that is not as mature as later works and the narration did a great harm to the work.
Would you be willing to try another one of Jay Wohlert’s performances?
No

Do not listen to this while driving!
Any additional comments?
Driving while listening to this book can be hazardous. However, if insomnia is a problem that you suffer from, this narrator may be the perfect remedy.

Poor narration
Alas, I was in a hurry and I did not read the reviews before purchasing. The narration is dry, wooden, and flat and completely distracting. I lasted ten minutes or so.
