Customer Review: Note on Kindle editions
There are two Kindle editions of the Great Gatsby, both at the same price.
Unfortunately the edition I bought, from Old Landmark Publishing, has a number of minor transcription errors. The most notable is the occasional
insertion of multiple unexpected paragraph
breaks within a sentence. There are also occasional misplaced paragraph breaks in dialog paragraphs, which sometimes leads to confusion about which character is speaking.
I downloaded the free sample of the Scribner Edition and although that is only a short sample, it appears to be a much better quality transcription.
So since there are two Kindle editions available, you might want to avoid the Old Landmark Publishing Edition (the one with the car on the cover) and try the Scribner Edition (the one with the stark black and white cover).
Customer Review: A true classic!
I picked up this book after about 12 years and I have to say I loved it just as much the second time around. Fitzgerald’s descriptive ability is effortless and filled with beautiful imagery that stays with you forever. Everything just jumps off the pages and makes you feel as if you are in the book itself, partying at Gatsby’s mansion or lounging with Daisy Buchanan. It is a beautiful book, a MUST read, and definitely a true classic!
