I downloaded the text version of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and saved a copy on my SD card, which I plugged into my Nokia e61 (ancient, yes I know) for a bit of light reading on the train to meet a few friends.

It was quite an entertaining story, and although I took a few minutes to pause and reflect on key stages in the story, I managed to finish reading the whole story in around 30 minutes. It was honestly, perfect for the journey, as I started reading once I managed to find myself a seat and then by the time I had finished the story, the train was just about to pull up at my stop.

The story was an easy, quick read with a really interesting concept, which once I reflect back on, was actually quite touching.

Top marks as a Sixty Minute Story, as I managed to finish it in about 30 minutes, despite the diddly screen that is mobile phone :)

I was really impressed with this story after finishing the final chapter. Really quick read and very well condensed. Interesting that Benjamin has similar regrets to a regular person.
