Title: Simply terrible
Review: I am a big fan of Hemingway, and For Whom the Bell Tolls and A Farewell to Arms are two of my favourite novels, but this book was simply terrible. Firstly, there was no plot. I kept waiting for something to happen, and nothing did. Secondly, the dialogues between Cantwell and Renata are boring and highly unrealistic. Realism has always been Hemingway's strength, but he seems to have lost it in this novel. And finally, the whole effect is extremely boring. There is no story, no action, no life.I couldn't wait for this book to end so that I could read something interesting instead. My advice to you is - read a lot of Hemingway, but don't touch this one.
