When this movie came out, I was immediately interested. But I didn't see the film yet, and only read the story now. The concept of an old man growing young triggered me. And it's well known, I guess. It's worked out nice, the details make the story.

The bundle I read also contains the stories Bernadice bobs her hair and The diamond as big as the Ritz. The first story is about a girl made popular by her cousin, but maybe a little to much. This story I didn't like too much. The last story is about a diamond as large as a mountain. How to hide that? Interesting concept.

Over all I enjoyed this bundle.

As the title suggests, this is a small book containing three short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The three stories are: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Bernice Bobs Her Hair and The Diamond as Big as the Ritz.

All of them were a little weird, as they didn’t seem to have a punchline, or morale, or point. Nevertheless, I liked them and they were well-written.
