The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

What an amusingly interesting start to the book...
And an equally interesting ending.
Beautifully written in crisp and clear sentences, Fitzgerald presents a flow of life imagined in reverse.
The story succeeds in capturing many conflicting instances of relationships and the reverse order device works out well in projecting human tendencies, moods as well as emotions.
The direct and light tone blends the comic and somewhat serious well.
A good read undoubtedly.
