The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

A got this story after watching the movie and, not surprisingly, found that the movie used the basic concept and that's about all. That being said, it was a great story - what an imagination Fitzgerald had! Reading was good, too. Loved the voices of Button at various ages.

I didn't particularly like the movie but got this anyway just to see what it was like. Glad I did.
Much shorter but also a much better story than the movie. Reading was also quite good.

This was a great book to listen to. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Definitely one you won't regret buying.

Well done reading of this story. Concept takes a lot of "suspension of disbelief" but it's certainly an imaginative story.

This short story is grand. It's honest and more sincere than the Hollywood Love story starring Brad Pitt. It was well worth the short time listening to it, even though the narrator is promoting his podcast and struggles with character voices but slowly getting past that, enjoyable and interesting read.

Highly recommend this short story!

This reader has so little sense of natural English speech rhythms and stresses that this rendition of the story, which is not one of Fitzgerald's better ones, is pretty much unlistenable. You wonder if he's paying any attention at all to the actual meaning of the sentences.

I listen to books as I drive and while this book did pass the time it was fairly boring.

Fitzgerald wrote this just to see if he could. He couldn't. The entire book rides on a single notion; life in reverse. It makes for an interesting convesation over cocktails, but it can't carry a novel.

I saw the movie first, and then I read the book. The movie was way better than the book. I was very dissappointed.
