Title: Why are the famous ones always bad?
Review: Hemingway is supposed to be one of the greatest authors of the 21st century, right? I read A Farewell to Arms this summer, and I thought it had to be one of the worst books I've ever read, and that's saying quite a bit. His brief descriptions and simple dialogue bored me. And his description of love! It wasn't love, it was sex. Clearly written from an immoral man's perspective, it was impossible for me to relate to the characters. And the ending, well, it was just stupid. There was no lesson to be learned, no happy ending, nothing that makes a great book great. The entire focus of the book was one man's unrelenting self-pity that eventually cost him everything he held dear.
