About this audiobook
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The story follows Benjamin's life from his birth. However he is no ordinary child, as he has the appearance of a 70 year old man, already capable of speech. His family soon realizes that Benjamin is aging in reverse, becoming younger as the years go by.
The fascinating story looks at his triumphs and struggles as he slowly gains his youth. Adding in themes of love and acceptance, F. Scott Fitzgerald details the difficulties and feelings of not fitting into ones designated age group in an entertaining and insightful manor.
An Author's Republic audio production.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This audiobook contains the worst narration I've ever heard. I listened to about half of the story. During that time, Michael Venditti mispronounced dozens of words. There is no rhythm in his narration. His sudden starts and stops are jarring. I tried to finish this version of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, but I wasn't able to. I switched to the version narrated by B.J. Harrison, which I enjoyed much more.
