Title: Farewell...to this Book!!
Review: I also read this because I have heard a great deal about Hemingway. I have previously read The Old Man and the Sea, and really enjoyed that. But this book was torture.Someone else mentioned the dialogue, and they're right. It is the worst dialogue I have EVER read. I dare you to find people who talk like that! I know the book was written in the 50's or so, but there's no way people have ever spoken like this. Maybe the characters all had shell shock...And the whole love affair seemed strange. The girl hardly knew the central character, and was talking about love on the first date, all the while the guy didn't seem to care about her. I found myself hoping they would break up, just to move on. But, they don't. So, I skipped half the book and read the end. I suggest the same.Anyway, if you are looking to read Hemingway, I can only advise you to skip this book. Life is short, read a good one.
