Publisher's summary

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.

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.

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.

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.
