  • "The Old Man and the Sea" - story telling at its finest.

    My journalist father was 4 years younger than Hemingway. There's a story that they met at some point, but I have no details. When I was a high school senior, Dad gave me "The Old Man and the Sea", saying, "This is how it's done" - a high compliment from my very exacting word-crafting father. I've read all of Hemingway's books, this one more than once. "The Old Man and the Sea" is classic, then and now. The title almost, but not quite, says it all. Enjoy.

  • Riding with "the old man"

    My first time reading Hemingway, I was disappointed, not with the style nor content, but because it was too short. The story left me wanting more. When Santiago is out in his boat, I could feel the heat of the Sun, smell the salty sea and the waves making me rise and fall with him. Most acutely, I felt his experience of aloneness and eagerness to land the giant fish that pulled him farther and farther away from land. I now live in anticipation of reading more from this great author, and completely recommend this short, but powerful, literary masterpiece.

  • Yes, Say It in A Few Words.

    Like Hemingway's writing style to convey interesting ideas with few words. I felt like I was in the boat with the old fisherman, living his life experience.

  • Classic Hemingway

    Filled with hope, sadness, victory, defeat, struggle, and perseverance. This book tells a human tale with no "story book ending." It's a keeper. Just reread it for the 1st time in decades and had forgotten what a powerful story it is.

  • A must read for all !

    A must read for all! This is an example of mankind's bravery and will to never give up against all odds. The capacity of a man's will to survive sometimes goes untested but is also unmeasurable.

  • Hemingway's best novel

    To me this is Hemingway's best novel. It is simple but intricately interwoven with the old man's past and present in addition to his relationship with the boy.

  • Hemingway nailed it!

    I had forgotten when I read this as a child how sad it was. I remember now why I’m vegetarian.

  • Marginalia all over the book, plus doodles and drawings. Reading through them was difficult but thankfully the book is short. Go Hemingway!
