Absolutely wonderful


(5 stars)

F. Scott Fitzgerald is a master of word and tale. I liked this compilation much better than Gatsby; every one of these stories drew me in and had me wishing there was more. The reading is well done and very easy to listen to. I will come back & listen to this one again & again.

yes, the rich are different


(2.5 stars)

At least these characters are. They are incredibly BORING. I realize I don’t like this author’s writing style. Maybe that’s why I think his characters are colorless and lifeless.
