There are few who can capture the spirit of a classic story via narration - and Sean Astin accomplishes this, with his voicework of The Great Gatsby. His acting and tone for all the characters, are distinct and serve to engage your attention, throughout the 5+ hour performance. Sean Astin is an older gentlmen, but his voice has a young and fresh quality to it. This audiobook would appeal to Astin fans and young adults alike. His talent reaches brightly and strongly into the audio theatre. Highly Recommended.

Thank you Net Galley for an audio copy of this book. This is my first experience with The Great Gatsby. The narrator was awesome. The book however, was not my cup of tea. Although I do appreciate the story.
