Title: The Old Man and The Sea
Review: Santiago is an old man who loves to fish. He dreams about catching a large fish and returning to his former days of glory.He goes out one day to fish and catches a large marlin. The long struggle between the man and marlin begins. After a long time at sea, sharks eat most of the marlin. The old man is left with only its carcass and returns to shore.I throughly enjoyed this novel. I felt Hemmingway's personification of the sea was a nice touch that made the book even better. You also couldn't help but like Santiago. His hard work and sacrifice was noble and he kept his humility throughout the book. Well, I give this book 4 stars and recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading about the struggles we all have or will face, and the effort that one put forth to achieve his goal.
