Scott Brick
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.

But if one focuses on what the people around Benjamin are doing, it reflects so much on how people, particularly Americans, thinks at that time. They're more focus on their family name and reputations, they don't like scandals (even though nobody wanted what had happened). And if one is to relate this in today's time, I think this is still shows how in terms of aging, children and old men are considered to be not productive enough in society. That in life, your 20s-40s are your golden years.

I enjoyed listening, but you will be disappointed if you are expecting it to be like the movie. The movie adds a lot to this story.
*^*TO REVIEWERS*^*
Many people read reviews to help them make decisions on what they want to spend their money on. IMHO reviewers need to be more mindful of those of us reading your reviews. Please do not give away so much of the storyline. Books are ruined when reviewers give out more than just their opinions. There is no need to tell story details with your review. Let people hear/read for themselves instead of getting important details from your review.
Please & Thank You!!
