Book Review: The Sun Also Rises (Hemingway)

Have I read this before: Yes indeed. Sometime in high school.

Review: If you want to get into Hemingway, DON’T START WITH THIS ONE. Hemingway is a great storyteller, but there must be a story to be told – and that’s what this book lacks.

Like, I get it…it’s supposed to portray that “Lost Generation” vibe, but UGH. It’s like the characters in The Great Gatsby went to France, took too many tranquilizers, and got boring.

Favorite Part: Knowing that practically any other Hemingway work I pick up will be better.

Rating: 4/10
