Negative Positive
Title: Overall a good book but too lengthy for such a simple topic.
Review: "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway was an overall good book. I would not want to read this book in my free time, because it isn't very exciting, but considering it's a book I had to read for school, it's not too bad. The only drawback of it is that it is too lengthy. The same thing could have been written in half as many words and portrayed the same idea. Because the book drags on for a long time about the same idea, it starts to lose the readers interest. If it were shortened by about 50-70 pages, it would be a lot better book.
