The Sun Also Rises at 80: Of Hemingway and his flawed elegance.

Date of Review:  May 2, 2006
The Bottom Line: There is too much that is wrong with the novel for me to call it great. There is far too much brilliance here, however, for me not to recommend it.
Review: Over 100 years since his birth and 50 years since he was the most visible writer in America, Ernest Hemingway remains a man of many masks. A larger than life figure, Papa (his nickname), meant many different things to different people. There's...

The sun rises very late in Hemingway's alcohol-soaked novel

Date of Review:  May 15, 2006
The Bottom Line: Good local (Basque country) color and bullfighting mystique, disfiguring racism, inept construction
Review: A few weeks ago, I was in Pamplona in the Basque region of northern Spain. I walked the path of the bulls (it was narrower than I expected). The last street the path crosses, at the entrance to the bull ring's holding pens is named for Ernest...

The Sun Also Rises, but I'm Staying in Bed

Date of Review:  Mar 24, 2007
The Bottom Line: I'll stick with Twain and Vonnegut, thank you very much
Review: The United States of America has been around for less than 250 years. It's amazing how this country has produced so many great writers in that short span of time: Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mark Twain, James Fenimore Cooper, Stephen Crane, Herman...

The Sun Also Rises... and a true artist along with it

Date of Review:  Aug 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: A highly-recommended book even if you're not a Hemingway fan. This book shall teach you the banes of over-indulgence and dissipation through crisp writing.
Review: Seldom does a novel emerge that is both powerful in its deliverance of the moral convictions being heretofore stressed by the author and at the same time written with such passion, with such finesse and delicacy that you could actually "taste" the...

A 20th century masterpiece!

Date of Review:  Jan 4, 2002
The Bottom Line: A masterpiece and a great introduction to the works of Ernest Hemingway. Also, a great novel about the post-WWI. experience.
Review: Hemingway is a really intriguing author, which is evident even in his early work "The Sun Also Rises."

What I especially like about Hemingway is his writing style. It is so simple, and he uses so many short sentences, yet at the same time,...

The Lost Generation never dies.

Date of Review:  Jun 9, 2003
The Bottom Line: I cannot guarantee that everyone will like this book, but if you're into the books about realism, this is perfect for you.
Review: As a 20th century American novel fan, I have not found a book that represents the Lost Generation in a truer, better light than "The Sun Also Rises". Perhaps it is autobiographical in the sense that all characters are real. Perhaps it is Hemingway's...

NOT good.

Date of Review:  Dec 26, 1999
Review: I recently read "The Sun Also Rises" and I gotta tell ya, I thought it sucked big time!It was confusing, and hard for me to identify with. It revolves around this guy, Jake, who is missing his package. Jake is in love with Lady Brett Ashley, who...

Falling in love... with love

Date of Review:  Apr 19, 2000
Review: This phenomenal book stole my heart. The main character, Jake caught me and rendered me helpless like only REAL men in REAL life could during his first taxi ride when he talks to Brett. Hemingway's writing style in general far surpasses anything...

clean and lovely

Date of Review:  Jun 25, 2000
Review: "The Sun Also Rises," by Ernest Hemingway, is simple and spare and marvelous. The tale of a doomed relationship between a World War I veteran, Jake Barnes, and the Lady Brett Ashley, it's as telling a portrait of a personality as any you'll find...
