I had been looking to buy this book for years. I always saw it in the bookshop and didn't buy it, but then found it for $7 second hand and caved and I'm rather glad I did. I was surprised how different the stories were from one another which was really good, but also how they could flow together in terms of writing style and character introduction. Fitzgerald uses the early century setting of New York and other places really well that transport you back to when things were so different but the base problems of society still remain. For the most part a lot of the stories didn't have the excitement or attraction as some of the others but for a few they were enthralling and very well developed. I think having some good and some bad doesn't make me dislike the book as a whole but it would have been that much better I think if they had all been as great to read as those I did enjoy.

Loved the writing.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is quite good but I am not too sure about the rest. It was still nice to read.
