Download The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Stories Audiobook

" A lot of great stories in this collection but my favorites were "May Day" and "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz". "

" First bit of work I have read by this author and I understand this was a collection of early bits intended for magazines etc as such I guess I can excuse the patchiness of the material...some of it is very good and the storys embrace genres ranging from gritty realism,fantasy and even farce...fairly enjoyable but I am guseeing not the authors best..certainly a worthwhile taster though. "

" Such strange tales. "

" WONDERFUL. Some stories better than others, but overall glorious. The Offshore Pirate and The Diamond as Big as the Ritz are the most memorable to me! "

" This is the first time in my life when I like the movie better than the book! After watching the movie which lasted almost three hours , I thought that the story would be a very long and detailed one! Unfortunately , The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was very short and I did not enjoy it as much as I did when watching its movie.Fitzgerlad should have written this story a lot longer , he did not do Bejamin enough justice, and I hate to like the movie better than the book!!!!! "

" i'm kind of baffled how far off the movie is from this. seeing the movie in theaters, i just finished the short story - which i liked more - and was really shocked at how little david fincher / whoever wrote the screenplay chose to include. motivations and relationships and everything are so different that it really isn't the same thing. "

" Bought this after I read "The Great Gatsby". Some of the stories feel similar to others and others are fairly boring, overall though most are good for a brief, low-key read. "

" All of the stories seemed to have strong morals or points that Fitzgerald wanted to make. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was not the love story the movie portrays. I think the moviemakers missed Fitzgerald's point. "

" I wanted to read this story before I saw the movie, so I did. It's not one of my favorite Fitzgerald stories, but it was still interesting to read. I wonder though, how similar the movie will be! "

" CAPTURED THE TIME OR DID HE INVENT IT "

" Haven't been a fan of Fitzgerald in the past, but I've found these stories to be enjoyable, tender and satiric in a way that reminds me of Austen, actually. "

" 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. "

" I loved the film, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", and felt inspired to read this collection of some of Fitzgerald's short stories, one of which (by the same name) inspired the movie. "

" His short stories are hit or miss.. and all of the female characters are helpless things who need to be rescued. "

" I was intrigued by the movie. This is a collection of short stories. I read the Benjamin Button story which was of course, quite different from the movie and rather odd. i plan to read some of the other stories. "

" I am love with these stories. They are so tragic and romantic and beautiful. "

" Really enjoyed these. I liked the ones with the characters from Hades. Note that all the young women (flappers) are age 19. That's how old Nicole was when Dick Diver met her in the sanitarium, and presumably how old Zelda was when F. Scott met her. "

" Okay. Better than the movie. "

" Quick read. Interesting story. I haven't seen the movie, but I hear its so far off the book...I don't know if I will. Still, interesting story. Worth a read. "

" A fun collection of his worse short stories, some of them pretty bad, parts of others are really good, but all of them are fun, his humor and insights into humanity shine through. "

" ZzZzZzZZzZ Soo Boaring "

" one of my new favorites... "

" I thought the movie was weird . . . the book is even weirder! "

" Fascinating collection of short stories that shows how F. Scott Fitzgerald sustained himself between books. "

" Some of the stories stick out above others, definitely some jazz era prejudice too but the story telling is good. "

" my only regret is that this isn't a little longer. :/
loved the story, and the interesting concept. makes me want to watch the movie again! "

" Not much to say - I think I liked the style more than the themes though.... "

" 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. "

" Quick read, but such a cute story! "

" I liked it and didn't like it at the same time. I actually felt sad. The MC was mistreated and misunderstood the entire time and it wasn't his fault! The movie is very different from this. "

" This book was so sad, it just gives you a whole new idea of living. "
