Oh, how I wanted to like this book. I have in general, loved this last five months of reading classics. This was the first Hemingway I've read and I will also say it's my last.
Sometimes it's poetic when authors don't follow the rules of grammar. But not so with Hemingway. I found it very distracting. If it were a compelling story, perhaps I could look past the obnoxiousness. However, I didn't even like the story line. I couldn't even make it to my 50 page minimum; I stopped at 37. But glad I tried him and now can talk about why I don't like him.
