New curious ...

Attracted by the film of David Fincher, I wanted to make me an opinion on the story that inspired him. Pocket editions show us two new short enough (55 & 65 pages respectively) Francis Scott Fitzgerald ("The Great Gatsby" is the one !!!).
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button therefore recounts the life of the above-named, who was born and died old fetus. He had crossed a mind to think such a story, and especially to write. The book reads without displeasure, but with less interest because no one comes bouncing surprise the reader. No narrative, no explanation, in short, it is still a little hungry. However, the author writes well and still manages to what the reader follow without displeasure the life of this character so curious.
The second new also bathes in the spooky and like the first: Fitzgerald proposes a framework and never comes out. We must therefore adhere to the history and the author of delusions without trying to understand why and how. It is possible that in a society increasingly desecrated the grotesque stories Fitzgerald have lost some of their magnifiscience ... until the Fincher's film resurrect?
