  "UGH - Hemingway did not appeal" by loishobart (see profile) 05/23/08

We tried but barely anyone BOTHERED to read this "nobel prize for literature" winner ... Some didn't care for the storyline. Some didn't like his writing style (IS there a style?) Some just didn't CARE about the strongly male-written, underdeveloped characters. The fact that it's a book of gloom, doom and hopelessness causes a reader to not want to finish ... UGH ... we tasted Hemingway. We spat him out.

 
  "Horrible, tedious" by pennyslager (see profile) 05/23/08

I could find nothing redeeming about this book. It was so painful to read. I kept reading because I thought that there must be some reason this book and author became so famous. I read "Old Man and the Sea" in school and hated it then--I chalked it up to being too young, but now I realize my first impression was correct.

Those that read this book that have some sophisication,and truly understand the value of great literature will love this book. It's heartfelt, it's a love story,and it's got adventure. Adults with taste will definately enjoy,and appreciate this book!
