Beautifully Crafted submitted by Princess Cimorene on August 12, 2018, 1:31pm I never really liked to read short stories until I read this collection. F. Scott Fitzgerald is a master of beautiful language and the stories really transport you to a different place and time. Of all the stories, Benjamin Button was one of the least interesting, in my opinion. There are some real hidden gems here.

Not as Good as The Great Gatsby submitted by MikkiMoscara on June 12, 2023, 3:07pm The short stories are ok, but I was underwhelmed. I knew The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was a short story, but it wasn't what I expected. The details were a little bizarre and the story wasn't as romantic as I had expected, and the writing is just ok.
