Love and Death In the Spanish Sun
When a friend suggested I read this book I thought I had a fairly good idea of what to expect. I had never read any Hemingway before but I had seen some film adaptations of his novels and I knew enough about his life (the love of bullfighting, the big game hunting and general 'macho' pursuits) to...

A Negative View Of This Loved Novel
I've been trying to decide how exactly to write this opinion, because my view of this book is definitely not that of the majority. I did not like it. It got to the point of being a chore to get through, but I had told myself I was going to read this entire thing, and I made myself finish it. "For... Read full review »
launching an offensive with irregular forces aint all its cracked up to be
This is a story about a young man on a mission. Sent alone to meet up with a bunch of "peasants"- resistance fighters in the Spanish Civil war.. They are taking on the superior force both in technology and in numbers, and things aren't looking too good. But they keep going despite the odds.

For Whom the Bell Tolls, my G!
"The mountainside sloped gently where he lay; but below it was steep and he could see the dark of the oiled road winding though the pass. There was a stream alongside the road and far down the pass he saw a mill beside the stream and the falling water of the dam, white in the summer sunlight."

An uneven book. Not the best Hemingway Novel.
As a fanatic of Hemingway's short stories and novels, particularly "A Clean, well-lighted place," "The Old Man and the Sea," and "A Farewell to Arms," my expectations for this novel were high. While others criticize him as dull and sparse, I've always viewed Hemingway remarkably efficient: he's... Read full review »
"No Man is an Iland"
In For Whom the Bell Tolls, Hemingway shows what the title promises. The title is derived from a sermon by John Donne: ?No man is an Iland, intire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the Continent..And therefore never send to know for who the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.? The essence of the poem... Read full review »
War, Sex, Drama, Battle... What's not to love?
I approached reading the book "For whom the Bell Tolls" with some trepidation. Since I knew it is considered a classic, I wondered if it would be the type of classic that was a chore to read, like "Moby Dick", or a page-turning treat, like "Grapes of Wrath". Fortunately, FWTBT was of the latter... Read full review »
Perhaps the Greatest War Novel of All Time
When I first came upon Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls, I was surprised how much of a better writer Hemingway had developed into as compared to his previous works, A Farewell To Arms and The Sun Also Rises.
His prose is the most beautiful I've seen in many years. If you have the...

Papa revisited, happily
"For Whom the Bell Tolls" was the first Hemingway I ever read. I was a high school kid in the early 1970s, working on my campus newspaper, newly graduated from Jack London but not yet ready for Jack Kerouac.
To my young eyes, it was a good action story: Robert Jordan, the passionate American...

One of the greatest war novels
Hemingway experienced the grime and blood of the Spanish Civil War through his gig as an ambulance driver. He takes his first-hand knowledge of the war and applies it neatly to FWTBT. In this story, an American, Robert Jordan, is assigned to blow up a bridge. Things, however, get complicated when... Read full review »
