Steph Dunn- Outside Reading # 5

Studying for exams me and my roommate went to Barnes and Noble for a change of scenery. Although it was loud and busy I loved being there because we got to look through the books. One book that caught my eye was "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" by F. Scott Fitzgerld. This past summer I had seen the movie with Brad Pitt and fell in love with it. My favorite part about the movie was the emphasis on how timeless love is. The book was very different from the movie. In the book Benjamen's family didn't give him up like they did in the movie, and they forced him to act as a child even though he was an old soul. Love is such an amazing deity that never seems to die. In this movie even though he was getting younger and she was getting older they still had an amazing connection that lasted through time.
