" Sigh. So I read "Old Man in the Sea" in high school and didn't love it....It took me over a decade to bring myself to read another Hemingway, and so this was it. Ernests second chance. And....I didn't love it. Don't get me wrong, there were moments that were beautiful, I learned something about living in the moment from it, and I cried at the end - actual tears. But overall, I guess I'm just not a Hemingway girl. Good thing he doesn't need me and is a classic author already. "
