In 1860 Benjamin Button is born an old man and mysteriously begins aging backward. At the beginning of his life he is withered and worn, but as he continues to grow younger he embraces life — he goes to war, runs a business, falls in love, has children, goes to college and prep school, and, as his mind begins to devolve, he attends kindergarten and eventually returns to the care of his nurse. 

I gotta admit here that the only reason why I read this book is because I’ve read a lot of good things about it on the Internet and I just thought that this book was just one of the way overhyped books which I read in my time. But after I read this book I gotta admit that it is pretty good after all, and of course I will explain everything in this review. So if you are interested in hearing my thoughts about this book then keep reading. 

As some of you might know if you have been sticking around my website for a while, I’m a huge F. Scott Fitzgerald fan after reading for the first time “The Great Gatsby”. So of course I needed to read this book at some point in my life. And im very happy that I finally read this book.

The plot of this book is very interesting and enjoyable. Because as many of you would know the plot in this book is abut a guy who is born old, and as he grows older he becomes younger. Which had really fascinated me a lot because it is very unique plot and it was very well written. 

The story in this book was very well written, at the same time it is also very fun and intriguing to read to follow this guy who ages backwards. Yes this book was a little bit quirky but in my opinion thats what made this book extra good.

However the story in this book doesn’t go into a lot of details which really annoyed me personally, because I really wished that it would have gone into more details at times because it would have made this whole story so much better at times.

The writing style in this book is incredible, because it was like the author knew exactly how to present the storyline to get me completely obsessed and hooked on the plot.

The writing style in this book is very straightforwards and doesn’t use a lot of unnecessary words to describe things which really made me really glad. Because I’ve come across a lot of classic books where the authors used war too many words to describe things which made the story unbearable long and boring. Which this books avoids doing which really made me very happy and love this story even more than I already did,

The characters in this book were very good. Yes we had very few characters in this book but the once we got in this book were very well written and created. Because the characters felt like real human being with real emotions and thoughts which made it very easy for me to like them and relate to them. 

It could be just my opinion but I think that F. Scott Fitzgerald is incredible on writing very amazing characters which makes me always love the characters in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s books.

The only downside this book had in my opinion was the length. This book could have been easily longer and go into more detail about things this book talks about just because I couldn’t get enough of this book and I really wanted to learn more about the main character, the side characters and the whole plot.

I Give This Book 4 / 5
