Reviewed by Zo zBoringggggg. Hemingway’s writing is so dry and includes so many meaningless conversations that were hard to follow. The only redeeming quality is his descriptions of Paris and northern Spain. Although I am biased having visited those places too
Reviewed by dajameepNicht so wirklich meine Art Buch. War interessant zu lesen, hat mich aber nicht wirklich gepackt. Ein eher schlicht und distanzierter Schreibstil, trägt für mich auch stark zu dem Gesamtgefühl des Buches und seiner Geschichte bei.
Reviewed by Carlos R. DiazEmploying the terse prose that made Papa one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, here's my book review: This book is the Lost Generation's quintessential novel. Everyone is sad and pissy. Jake Barnes is an impotent writer. Lady Brett Ashley is a promiscuous lush. They party in Paris. They drink copious amounts of coffee, beer and wine. They eat all the time. The bullfighting scenes are absolutely breathtaking. No one is happy and their hopes and dreams remain unrealized. Nevertheless, "Robert Cohn was once middleweight boxing champion of Princeton." That is all. 📖
