I'm just not a fan of religious allegory at all. I'm sorry guys but by the end I was rolling my eyes. I'm still giving it 3 stars 'cause it's Hemingway and his writing is still killer.

The mechanics of the time loop were interesting, but the characters were uncompelling and inconsistent.

The titular story is decent; the two other stories were duds unfortunately
The Blues Brothers: An Epic Friendship, the Rise of Improv, and the Making of an American Film Classic

“And you could see the diminished Belushi in some of the bleary Chicago scenes, stuffed up and somnambulant in Elwood’s apartment, sleepwalking through the gas-station sequence. Maybe those dark glasses, so reviled by the critics, were a blessing. They hid John’s sickness.” — Daniel de Visé, The Blues Brothers, page 295
Exuberant and thoughtful and damn near everything I wanted it to be. de Visé takes such care with the story and all its moving parts, not to mention with the trajectories of Dan, John, and all the other players. Finally, we’ve got a definitive Blues Brothers bible.
