Book Reviews of The Old Man and the Sea
Book Review: Best book Hemingway ever wrote
Summary: 5 Stars
Over the years, Hemingway wrote a number of novels along with short stories. His novels are now somewhat dated, and his style was one of simple subject, verb, and object. This is great if you are using one of his books to study a foreign language, but in my opinion it lacks in terms of descriptive beauty. For all of that "The Old Man and the Sea" is superb. It has balance, adventure, and originality, and the simple, straight forward text is perfect for the uneducated, Cuban fisherman he is describing. I like it!
