Not one of Dan Brown’s best
Revisado: 08-21-18
This definitely did not live up to DaVinci code or Angels and Demons. The story was a bit slow and dull and didn’t just pull you in like his previous books. The ending twist about the villain didn’t have the lasting psychological impact on the main characters it should have. They ended up moving on to soon with other events after the twist and the main characters didn’t seem affected by it as they should have in the final chapters.

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic American novel of the Roaring Twenties is beloved by generations of readers and stands as his crowning work. This new audio edition, authorized by the Fitzgerald estate, is narrated by Oscar-nominated actor Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain). Gyllenhaal's performance is a faithful delivery in the voice of Nick Carraway, the Midwesterner turned New York bond salesman, who rents a small house next door to the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby....

Still a classic!
Revisado: 10-24-17
The Great Gatsby is still a classic! The way the F. Scott Fitzgerald uses the English language is brilliant. The way he describes everything, from the atmosphere of the 20's, to the description of West Egg, and how Gatsby created his persona to win Daisy's love is mesmerizing.
Jake Gyllenhaal was a little wooden in parts of his performance and I expected him to create more characters using his voice than he actually did. I especially wanted him to voice Nick Carraway differently, and at times I found myself wishing it was Tobey Maguire and picturing how he would narrate the story. Still, a very good listen.

Seth Hubbard is a wealthy man dying of lung cancer. He trusts no one. Before he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten, will. It is an act that drags his adult children, his Black maid, and Jake into a conflict as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of Ford County's most notorious citizens, just three years earlier. The second will raises far more questions than it answers. Why would Hubbard leave nearly all of his fortune to his maid? Had chemotherapy and painkillers affected his ability to think clearly?

A step below A Time To Kill
Revisado: 10-24-17
It had been many years since I read A Time To Kill and I was excited to read another story with Jake Brigance. This was a very good story, but did not stack up to the grittiness and emotion of A Time to Kill. Instead this was more subtle, much more like The Chamber with more details about the town and secondary characters and not as much into the development of Jake Brigance as there was in A Time To Kill.
It took me a few chapters to get into the narration style of Michael Beck. I did not always like the way he read some characters and found his use of a southern accent to be obviously phony and that of someone who had never lived in the south.
The story was interesting, but as it developed I could begin to anticipate how it would end, and wished there was more of a surprise to how it ended. By the time the story reached the verdict you had already guessed how it would end and why it would end that way.
