First, know that this is - and this is often the case for Folio 2 - an extract of a real collection of FS Fitzgerald: Children of jazz.
This book is composed of 2 new thus:
_ The Strange Case of Benjamin Button
_ The dregs of happiness
The first, which I knew orginialité because I had heard about the movie adaptation, really disappointed me. The author remains extremely superficial on the particularity of the main protagonist, as we quickly anticipates the following events. Dig a few ideas to make a new, longer, even a novel, could not have been that bénifique.
The also did not was so arrested style.
However, I loved the second story, as by its history, although much less original at first than the last, but also by his poetry.
If I had stopped to Benjamin Button, I perhaps would never open another book by Fitzgerald, but the Lie of Happiness opened me on this author's universe and given desire to discover more. Like what first impressions!
