Benjamin Button was literally born an old man. He lived a backwards life, for his body grew younger as the years passed him by. Come and listen to the original, unabridged story by F. Scott Fitzgerald which inspired the movie. This recording was a bestseller at the iTunes Music Store for 6 weeks, beginning in January 2008. Running time: 1 hour, 6 minutes. Listener review: I've been listening to B.J. Harrison's podcast and audio books for several years, and I think he is the best reader of literature you can find. It has been a joy to rediscover classics I read in high school, books I always "meant" to read someday, or completely new authors. It is amazing how he captures the accents and character differences in his voice, and has a real knack for comedy timing too! That would especially be the case of Benjamin Button — charming and witty, and just a lot of fun!!!! -Dawn, review from Audible.com
