This collection of short stories were a pleasant surprise. I'm not a big Fitzgerald fan, but this brought another side of his talent. The reading is enjoyable. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

After the abrupt endings of most of these short stories I felt there should have been more. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is an exception.

Don Jenkins has done us a service with this fine reading. I could listen to 'A diamond as big as the Ritz' all day long.

A couple of new ones for me.

I found myself liking the absurdist comedies more than I thought I would. Beautifully read, bravo!

Great reader, and excellent stories to listen to while doing other activities.

The narrator's characterization of women's voices is shrill.
