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.

top!

Fantastically read by a very engaged reader who seems to have put a serious amount of thought and work into each of the short stories! Great fun!

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.

A couple of new ones for me.

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

Hit or Miss

(3,5 Sterne)

Some good stories and some mediocre s stories. Good reader.

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