Title: A snoozer!
Review: Yes, this book has lots of symbolizm. Yes it has universal themes. Yes, Hemingway employs a great use of symbolism. Yes his sentences are short and he uses simple, easy to understand vocabulary. BUT this is one of the most boring books I have ever read!!! Hello! The guy sits in a boat in the middle of the ocean for a hundred pages trying to get a fish. If you love fish or just happen to love any book you read, then you'll love this book. However, I, personally, was not fanscinated. Had the book not been required for my Honors English class summer reading list, I wouldn't have finished it. I gave this books two stars because I realize it had deeper meanings and so forth, plus, thankfully, Hemingway spared us and kept the book fairly short (as opposed to some boring books that are 400 pages) but on a surface level it was an unbearably drawn out book about a fish.
Is the review positive or negative?
