New book: Again

So the "Time Machine" wasn't exactly a bad book, but when I saw that "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" was coming out as a movie, I thought I had to read it. In the movie Brad Pitt asks as Benjamin. It is already nominated for golden globes, which means it must be good (although The Dark Knight was an awesome movie and it did not get a globe award). The story starts as Mrs. Button is pregnant and about to give birth. Mr. Button is going to the hospital, when he sees the doctor. The doctor acts very strange and Mr. Button is nervous about the health of his child. After stumbling over words the doctor manages to take Mr. Button into the hospital after swearing never to help give birth to any of his family members ever again. By now, Mr. Button is throughly frightened, as all the staff members are acting strange as well. When he goes into the room that Mrs. Button is in, he sees a 70- year old man in a baby crib. The nurse explains to him that is his son, Mr. Button thinks this is a joke but the nurse convinces him that it is not. Mr. Button is a man of high status in his town, and starts becoming weary about his image in society. He thinks that he will lose all his status and respect. Mr. button takes benjamin to a store to buy him clothes, he tries to find him boy clothes and hatches a plot to dye his hair to pass him off as a young kid.

That's all I read so far, and this is promising to be a good book already, I'll keep you posted.
