Reader comments
Wow, this book is great! It made me feel Hemingway's unique writing style, just like the characters he wrote, strong and real. Each story in the short story collection is concise and powerful, making me feel like I am in that era. This reminds me of the old fisherman in "The Old Man and the Sea". His perseverance is admirable. I love this realistic style, it makes me appreciate every moment in my life more.
The writing power is really great. His works are more about depicting objective states, letting readers experience the depth themselves. The iceberg theory is well-deserved. The Snows of Kilimanjaro is a must-read, a true work of art.
The plot of this book is interesting and twists and turns. I like it and highly recommend it.
