    Excellently read by the narrator. He gets a 5⭐️. For an older reader with much classical reading experience (although this was my first time ready The Great Gatsby) I found it painfully slow until about halfway through. The last half, after the characters were developed was much better, smoother flowing, and much more interesting IMHO.

    Sean Astin did a great job. When I read it, this book's prose is breathtaking, however, listening to it conveyed a sadness that has escaped me when I read it (?) - or perhaps I have just forgotten. Always leaves me wanting more Fitzgerald.
    This would be a 5 star review, except that the last line of the book, and one of its most iconic, is obscured and denigrated by ridiculous music.
