Negative Positive
Title: This is the story that everyone should know.
Review: I read this book in two days, it blew me away. The barren language, the lack of detail. Descriptions only go as far as colors and rarely a metaphor. What Hemmingway achieves by this technique, is by using such limited language, there is more room for the core of the story to be exposed, which is, this old mans love for the sea and fish. The old man constanly refers to great baseball player Joe DiMaggio as, The Great DiMaggio. When in actuality, what this man achieves with courage and love is bigger and greater than any baseball player's heroics. This book is a classic.
