Reader comments

The story of this book is really wonderful! Hemingway's descriptions are very precise and his dialogues are short but powerful, making people feel like they are immersed in the story. Moreover, these stories are very deep and will leave people with endless aftertaste after reading them. Especially in "The Old Man and the Sea", the scene of the old man fighting the sea impressed me deeply. I felt the insignificance of man in the face of nature, and also realized the power of persistence. All in all, this is a good book worth reading again and again.
