F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was an American novelist and short story writer, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. His literature mainly focused on the Jazz Age in the 1920s and The Lost Generation. Best known for his legendary title The Great Gatsby, his other notable works include This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, Tender is the Night, and the short story collection Tales of the Jazz Age.
Kyle Tait is a professionally trained voice actor and narrator in Atlanta, Georgia. His first brush with a microphone came in sports radio, calling baseball in the Atlanta Braves' organization. To pass the time in the off-season, he started voicing audiobooks, and a few years later he left baseball and went into narration full-time. Now his voice can be heard on a variety of audiobook and corporate voice-over outlets worldwide. When not in the studio, Tait can still be found moonlighting in the sports world, calling football, basketball, baseball, and softball on a variety of TV and radio outlets. He's also a studio host with IMG College, anchoring football and basketball broadcasts for schools like TCU, UConn, and Arizona.
Chelsea Stephens has a longtime love and appreciation for the performing arts, with experience in on-stage acting, singing, and voice-over. Her love for reading books and the pursuit of the story led her to narration. She enjoys unfolding characters and bringing listeners into new worlds. Chelsea is an experienced voice actor with a talent for mystery, sci-fi, and YA novels. She's a mom to a gaggle of young ones living in the Midwest with her lumber sexual husband.
This is a good book, though it is so ridiculously overrated. There are so many great books out there that will never get the attention they deserve. They will be forgotten and their wisdom heard by only a select few who are willing to go looking for it. So it annoys me when books like this are accla......more
The Great Gatsby is your neighbor you're best friends with until you find out he's a drug dealer. It charms you with some of the most elegant English prose ever published, making it difficult to discuss the novel without the urge to stammer awestruck about its beauty. It would be evidence enough to......more

Jay Gatsby, you poor doomed bastard. You were ahead of your time. If you would have pulled your scam after the invention of reality TV, you would have been a huge star on a show like The Bachelor and a dozen shameless Daisy-types would have thrown themselves at you. Mass media and modern fame would......more
once upon a time, i had a very long, very passionate review of this book uploaded, with very long, very passionate pages of comments, and generally it was one of my favorite reviews (and of one of my favorite books) with one of my favorite ensuing discussions. today i realized goodreads deleted it! re......more
“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
