The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway
3.0

MIXED FEELINGS

This is first book I have read of Ernest. I don't know if that was a good thing or bad. I like short stories with great impact. And stands in between. In between for making me bore at the start but pulling me in the book at the end. In between with describing the scene nice and simply but dialoguing some very annoying and pride filled things. Apparently, it's not symbolic. None of the elements of the story is suppose to be symbolic but everything made me, at first say, 'Are you kidding me?' and then well, you that at some point of your life. At the end, I was really annoyed but felt complete. Maybe, it talked about the truth I wanted to deny.
