About this title: The 43 stories collected here, all masterpieces of the form, demonstrate the full range of Fitzgerald's grasp of the story and novella form. Stories range from the early "Head and Shoulders" and "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" to stories from late in his career like "Last Kiss" and "Dearly Beloved." The volume includes an illuminating preface and headnotes by premier Fitzgerald scholar and biographer, Matthew J. Bruccoli.

"I only read 4 of the many short stories in this book. His themes got a bit repetitive for me - unattainable girl, lovesick-but-doesn't-know-it-until-years-later guy. Ho hum... The positive is that Fitzgerald does a great way of putting words together. Beautiful language, but still only worth 2 stars. I don't know if my opinion would have changed if I read more than 4 stories though."
"Of course I love Scott. The fantasy stories are particularly interesting. "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is so much better than the movie makes it seem. It's actually quite funny, whereas the movie was basically devoid of humor. "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" is wickedly great. "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz" starts out fantasy and then turns very "The Most Dangerous Game"-like. But good."
"I haven't these stories in years but remember thinking a few of them vividly. My favorite has always been May Day because of the way that different sensibilities and cultures clash in it. I remember thinking at the time that it would make a great movie. The diamond as big as the ritz is a strange one."
"I've liked the stories I've read, especially "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz" and "Bernice Bobs Her Hair," but then, I'm a Fitzgerald fan in general. The one disappointment is that it doesn't include "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," which I hear isn't one of his best, but I liked it."
