Publisher's Summary
F. Scott Fitzgerald makes antebellum Baltimore his setting for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a fantastical tale with some Poe-like overtones about a baby born at age 70 who then lives life in reverse, his hair turning "in the dozen years of his life from white to iron-gray, the network of wrinkles on his face becoming less pronounced". What ramifications that creates for Benjamin's relationship with his father first and then later with his wife and his own son makes for some fantastical situations.

Terrific narrator!
Great to rediscover a classic with such a talented narrator. (Narrators often make or break an audiobook!)
As for the story, if you don’t already know it, it’s short, farcical, passingly deep but with a light satirical touch, and touching. (Better/harsher than what Hollywood made of it.)

Brilliant Storytelling
This is excellent storytelling to age backwards the life of Benjamin Button who is born old but mysteriously ages younger. He falls in love, gets married, have children and even go to war until he's no longer.
Clever and interesting story.
Completely different from the movie in most instances.
Still love the movie. ❤️
