This is a comfy book to listen to when you don't have a lot of time. (only an hour). BUT It's so his! Mr. Mike's delivery is the perfect voice for Benjamin Button. It has a note of humor mixed with matter-of-factness. now off to find a couple more works by this reader.
Good recording, reads kind of fast

The chapter titles kind of blend into the text, and for a short story the words could be lingered over a bit more than they are. Otherwise, quite a good recording sound quality wise, and good voice acting that doesn't get in the way of the story.
loved it

Really loved listening to this - the reader has a wonderful, relaxing voice. The Curious Case of B.B. is an entertaining book, with a very original plot; I'd like to see the movie now to see how it compares!
Amazing

Great reading of an intetesting story. Out of the 30 or so books I've listened to on librivox John is the best reader I've heard so far. This reading is as good as a professional recording.
Wonderful Reader

I was always curious about this story as I knew the premise. It is entertaining but leaves many questions unanswered. The reader makes the experience completely worth the time spent listening.
Wow!

This was such a strange and wonderful story! I've seen the movie, but the book is really good! I listened to it in one go. The narrator did a fantastic job!
