With short chapters, stylish illustrations, and lots of lively dialogue, this splendid re-working of The Great Gatsby deftly presents the novel’s adult themes (thwarted love, loveless marriage, the disintegration of the American dream, the gratuitous pursuit of pleasure and money, the sociology of wealth, and elitism) in a manner young readers will understand and respond to. The result is a highly-readable, thought-provoking book that demonstrates the timeless universality of the themes that underpin this classic of American literature, while making them accessible to a younger 21st-century audience.
The free audio book is a great bonus, as are the information boxes that contextualise the novel’s 1920s setting, should any readers wonder what on earth an investment bond or coupe is.
