The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

It was hilarious! However, I found the end terribly depressing and I want to know what happened to Hildegarde.

I really enjoyed this book. The premise was very interesting

Good book to read. Makes you think about life a lot.

The book was very interesting. I liked that it wasn't as explicit as the movie. The ending was sad and after I got to a certain point in the book, I grew bored. Still a great read!

A amazing book! Terribly sad though...

Most books you find surpass their movie counterparts... This one fell short and the story was rather flawed. I liked the movies plot better. Still glad I read it tho.

Wonderfully written .....made me cry ;(

Id say movie has more emotions and more sadness, happiness, and its bit differant than book. Its worth reading.

Has all the emotions, sad,happy,anger....but only in reverse! Great read!

Could not stop reading from beginning to end.

A bittersweet short story. (Several typographical errors in this copy, but nothing you can't just skim over...) A clever storyline, well worth the read!

Nice book, easy to read.

It was a perplexing and intuitive story. Quite good and easy reading. The brief comedic point were mulled over by the dreary ending, giving the book a bit of morbid flair.

Again, if you are looking for the film, this has very little in common. The story of a man whose life ages in reverse and how society shuns him for being different. As his life is in reverse, he tends to find himself alienated from humanity despite following a fairly typical path.

I found d book n movie really wonderful and well composed.well done

It was good but sad :(

I like this book. The movie was good too, but it left out a lot f stuff. The book made more sense.

That was disturbing. Too similar to watching my mother slide into dementia

I love the move of this book and i love this book

Very well-written, as with any Fitzgerald book. Unusual subject treated with respect, in simple manner, without unnecessary drama. Enjoyed it very much.

Good short story but sad. :(

The book 9 - the movie 8

If you are one of those people that invariably compare book to movie & visa-versa, this short story will not be one. The two are as night is to day. I found them to be equally interesting and well done.

Fascinating concept story well told.Very descriptive

Pretty good,

Great read!!!

So much better than the movie!

Intrigueing if that's how you spell it.

This story made me smile

An interesting spin on life!

It was sad but good

Wonderful short story. Better than the movie, although both were emotionally draining

Touching, amusing and sad in equal measure. A wonderful little diversion.

I've watched the movie but I loved the book! Very easy to get into. Great job

Pretty decent actually

Bittersweet. Captures the essence of human development.

Kind of a strange little story . . . And NOTHING like the movie.

Nothing like the movie, but it was still a captivating story

It was neither funny nor sad. Let's call it irreve

really nice, easy read.

I liked this book. It was better than the movie that they made out of it. I read it all in one sitting.

I loved how the years are like when they are growing backwards... or should i call it growing?

I just loved the mystery of this story. The way that it leaves you, with Benjamin as a baby almost made me cry.

The perfect short story! Succinct, entertaining......a real page turner!

So wonderful and creative!

Great, sad ending

Interesting...engaging. A quick but fun read. It was a bit sad in the end, but thought-provoking, too. A fun, quirky short story.

Loved this story!

Interesting and engaging. I wish there was more.

Much more interesting than expected. An unnerving vision of "aging" and the vicissitudes of life. Oddly moved by the inevitable ending.

I took interest in reading this novel by F Scott Fitzgerald having previously seen the film based around it. Though the two were almost nothing alike, I enjoyed this quick, entertaining, and thought provoking read centered around Benjamin Button, a man who ages backwards. Unique premise and I enjoyed the historical context as well.

Great story! Very touching!

Very much different from the film,but with a taste of authenticity you'd like.

Such an amazing short story! Love it :)

Decent short story I just was not aware at first how short. If you are looking for a quick read this is for you.

Great wee read :-)

I wish it was longer. Great book!!

I thought this would be longer. Wonderful short story.

Truly enjoyed this book; wish it had been longer.

Different, a nice quick read.

Fabulous!

It was a great book

It was a little difficult for a 13 year old but all the same it was very good and interesting.

An interesting concept and a light read.
