Reader comments
The stories in this book are very true, especially "The Brief Happy Life of Frances Macomber", which reminded me of the characters in "The Great Gatsby". These stories all have Hemingway's unique style. The words are concise and powerful, like a sharp knife, directly hitting the heart. I like this writing style that is real and not artificial, it feels like I am chatting with the author. I hope I can be like Hemingway and find my true love.
