“The finest work of fiction by any of this country’s writers.” Washington Post
“Kyle Tait’s solid delivery…makes the audiobook’s narration clear and well paced. In contrast to his straightforward portrayal of Nick, Tait captures the gruffness of Tom Buchanan, the husband of Gatsby’s beloved Daisy, and the whimsy of Gatsby himself…Chelsea Stephens, who voices the female characters, reveals her versatility in Daisy Buchanan’s nervous enthusiasm as compared to her friend Jordan’s languid Kentucky accent.…Both Tait and Stephens complement each other in their delivery of dialogue, and their performances make this audiobook engaging.” AudioFile
