Title: Engaging Classic
Review: I haven't read classics since school and decided to take a break from commercial and contemporary fiction to read a few. I'm quite surprised that a story about a fish could have me wrapped up and engaged. This was my first Hemingway book and I enjoyed his simple storytelling style. Because it was straight forward, I was able to get into the old man's dilemma of not having caught a fish in months and then battling with this great marlin, only to have it attacked by sharks. I like that I was able to get into and feel his struggles within his mind and against his body. This was a very engaging classic.
