I had very high expectations for this book, and was not disappointed.

This is a wonderful collection of eight of F Scott Fitzgerald's shorter stories. Each story was narrated expertly and was an absolute joy to listen to. I can not imagine anyone not enjoying this collection. I was gifted this book at no cost for an honest review.

A collection of short stories.

Perfect Reading of a Classic!

I thought, between high school and college I had read every F. Scott Fitzgerald book there was, I was wrong and I’m so glad I listened to this collection of short stories now, allowing me to view his writings from the perspective of an older and wiser person.

These short stories were written in 1920 when F. Scott Fitzgerald was a young man of 24-years-old and his writing reflects that sense of wonder, romance and pseudo angst that most young people have before the brutality of everyday life beats it out of you by the age of thirty-five, but what remains timeless, unlike youth, is the beauty of his words, his way with prose is still a marvel to this very day.

Some, I’m sure will find offense and or discomfort with the archaic and offensive use of racial terms, that at the time this book was written, was completely acceptable and commonplace, but it would be wrong to censor this work and history should not be rewritten, but rather learned from.

The narration was performed admirably by Kitty Hendrix, she really captured the feeling and tone of the time that this book was written in and I was completely engaged with her reading through the entire audiobook. The production quality of this audiobook is top of the line as well.

Young scholars take note if this book is required reading you will be doing yourself a great favor by downloading this version and guaranteeing an “A” in class.

Vibrant

I really enjoyed this collection, and found the stories to be very relatable despite their age. The best part, though, is how vividly each story captures the jazz era. Kitty Hendrix' performance is fantastic too, she really brings each story and character to life, to the point that I can't imagine reading the physical book. I highly recommend Flappers and Philosophers for fans of F. Scott Fitzgerald. It's a real treat!
