"Reminded me of why I love Fitzgerald - a virtuoso painter of the Jazz Age. His short stories are unique and unpredictable, and he writes beautifully. Although a few of the stories are somewhat strangely abstract, they are mostly absorbing snapshots of lives, told with poignancy and humor. "

    " Loved this story. I read it on the Nook app on my blackberry and it was quite easy to read that way. I would have loved the characters to be fleshed out a little more, but the concept is great. Now I want to see the movie version. "
