    "The Old Man and the Sea" - story telling at its finest.

    My journalist father was 4 years younger than Hemingway. There's a story that they met at some point, but I have no details. When I was a high school senior, Dad gave me "The Old Man and the Sea", saying, "This is how it's done" - a high compliment from my very exacting word-crafting father. I've read all of Hemingway's books, this one more than once. "The Old Man and the Sea" is classic, then and now. The title almost, but not quite, says it all. Enjoy.

  • Riding with "the old man"

    My first time reading Hemingway, I was disappointed, not with the style nor content, but because it was too short. The story left me wanting more. When Santiago is out in his boat, I could feel the heat of the Sun, smell the salty sea and the waves making me rise and fall with him. Most acutely, I felt his experience of aloneness and eagerness to land the giant fish that pulled him farther and farther away from land. I now live in anticipation of reading more from this great author, and completely recommend this short, but powerful, literary masterpiece.

  • The Old Man and the Sea

    I had to purchase this book for a literature class at college. I do not necessarily care for Hemingway's choppy journalistic style of writing. I do, however, respect what this book represented at the time it was written. I understand that this book was written as a result of Hemingway's newfound belief in God. I felt that he provided great imagery in a tale that was to the point. Throughout the book I found references to faith and christianity by his use of numbers and a number of statements. Anyone can sit down and ready this in an hour or two. Read it again and see if you understand it differently the second time.

  • Yes, Say It in A Few Words.

    Like Hemingway's writing style to convey interesting ideas with few words. I felt like I was in the boat with the old fisherman, living his life experience.
