The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Story4 out of 5 stars 70
F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote many wonderful romantic and realistic short stories and a few incredible "on the edge" fantasy and supernatural stories. Although the story of "Benjamin Button" is quite different than the 2009 movie, the premise is the same - a man is born old and lives his life backwards! Fizgerald says he got the idea from Mark Twain's remark that it was a pity that the best part of life came at the beginning and the worst part at the end.

Just watch the Disney movie it's the same length and far more interesting. I've never had a book read to me one sentence at a time before, so if you do listen to it listen at 1.25x speed or it will feel like it will never end.

America's First Horror Story
While the rest of the world have many fairy tales, ghost stories, and legends, The Legend of Sleepy Hallow is America's first ever true nightmarish ghost story told in a classic fashion that still resonates today. This timeless story is not gory nor over the top but a true ghostly legend that can haunt the adolescence and still chills to adults.

Narration was hard to follow
Good classic American folk lore, but the narrator's voice was too deep making it hard to follow along. This isn't worth a full credit, but is worth a buck or so if it's on sale.

Just a struggle, all around...
The story itself could have been pared down to about half its length, it's mostly just rambling paragraphs about the lay of the countryside the character inhabits and the various dishes prepared for dinner. I won't get into this particular narrator because I have all the same complaints that everyone always has about Alan Munro.
