A Life in Reverse

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 February 2019

When the name F Scott Fitzgerald is mentioned people immediately start thinking of his novels, most noticeably ‘The Great Gatsby’ and tend to overlook the numerous short stories that he wrote, although the latter show him arguably at his most inventive and creative, with humour present in many of them. This story first appeared in Collier’s Magazine in 1922 and has always proved popular.

Here then we meet Benjamin Button, who is doomed to live his life in reverse. Born in 1860, so he has the appearance of a man of three score and ten, fully able to talk and moan about his woes and pains. From this old age so he is brought up like a child, but as we see the years are fraught with problems because as everyone else grows older, he himself actually grows younger. Becoming bored with his ageing wife and becoming younger than his son so we follow him through the events of his life until such time as his memories stop, as he is just too young.

Highly enjoyable and always entertaining this is a story that all of us should read. After all we all moan about things as we grow older, whether it is niggling aches and pains, or slowing down. But for us at least we do not have the problems of living our lives backwards.

Pleasantly surprised

Having not known anything of Benjamin Button other than the film and enjoying other Fitzgerald books I went into this short story open minded.

I had expect it to be a very cut version of born- lived- died, however this contained more than I had imagined. There was enough depth to understand the characters personality and how it matched with the age he was when described, but not so much that it wouldn’t allow you to imagine other stories that could easily be intertwined if Fitzgerald had wanted to do so.

A smooth easy read, done in under an hour

Enjoyable little read

Having seen and loved the film I wanted to try the book, also a bonus that it was a free download on the kindle.
It was okay, nothing like the film apart the basics and the characters having the same names. It was a good little read, enjoyable but not like the film

Very poor re-translation

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 March 2021

Verified Purchase

It got one star because I couldn't see how to award zero.
The book has been translated into a foreign language and then re-translated back into English. It has not been quality checked by anyone with even a minimal understanding of English. Not worth buying even though it was free.
Amazon should be ashamed of allowing such poor product to be available on their site.
