Publisher Description
Tony Award-winning actor Leslie Odom Jr., who starred in the original cast of Hamilton, breathes new life into F. Scott Fitzgerald’s entertaining Jazz Age classic.
The Roaring Twenties are in full effect in the fictional Long Island beach towns of West and East Egg when Midwesterner Nick Carraway gets caught up in the orbit of man-about-town Jay Gatsby, host of some of the wildest, most extravagant parties you could ever imagine.
The Great Gatsby is a cautionary tale of wealth and excess and a bit of a scathing takedown of celebrity culture. With his mellifluous voice and acting chops, Leslie Odom Jr. is the perfect reader. He pulls us into this timeless story of an outsider looking in—and the impossible, but uniquely human, longing to return to the past.

I’m reading this book every day!!!
I love that the book!! Well done Scott!!
Gatsby is a amazing man! Jeremy actually plays Jay Gatsby in “The Great Gatsby” The Broadway Musical
Mesmerizing!
Odom’s narration is absolutely entrancing. He is a stellar performer and this classic is nothing short of brilliant (especially when read by such a terrific talent)!
Classic story
Always a good story to read or listen to. Always like to come back around and read it every few years.
