Books2Movies Club discussion

We have already done one novella by F. Scott Fitzgerald that resonated pretty well with the members (and me), The Great Gatsby. It was only matter of time when we would do another of his stories, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in particular, because of its well known adaptation, directed by David Fincher, and with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett in the main roles.

I've just seen the movie, and I admit I wasn't so very thrilled by it afterwards. Maybe it just needs another sitting through, perhaps after reading the story, although I've read somewhere the movie differs greatly from the story. Have you seen the movie or read the story? Please tell us what did you think of each!

Here are some great questions for discussion that may help you (and me!) express better your thoughts about the story, posted by Simon & Schuster: Reading Group Guide for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

If you are willing, you can read the story for free online (this one link is the courtesy of University of Virginia, but you can find it somewhere else too, the story is in public domain): The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

If you are more into audiobooks, there are two editions available for free (I think, maybe there are more, freely post your findings below):
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Archive.org, narrated by Alan Davis Drake
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Librivox, narrated by Mike Vendetti
