Love and Death In the Spanish Sun

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2004
The Bottom Line: Don't be put off by Hemingway, this is a great read.
Review: 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...

A Negative View Of This Loved Novel

Date of Review:  Mar 29, 2001
The Bottom Line: This book is not for everyone, although some may like it. I would never recommend it to my friends as a group, it's not my cup of tea.
Review: 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...

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2001
The Bottom Line: Love, War, Issues of trust.. what's not to like?
Review: 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...

For Whom the Bell Tolls, my G!

Date of Review:  Dec 24, 2005
The Bottom Line: was there in front of a white rigid computer in a room with a dark hue with a glass by his side.
Review: "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...

An uneven book. Not the best Hemingway Novel.

Date of Review:  Dec 22, 2003
The Bottom Line: I hesitantly recommend this book. If you're looking for an introduction to Hemingway, please choose something else. But if you're a Hemingway and literature veteran, you'll enjoy it.
Review: 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...

War, Sex, Drama, Battle... What's not to love?

Date of Review:  Nov 25, 1999
Review: 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...

"No Man is an Iland"

Date of Review:  Jul 17, 2000
Review: 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...

Perhaps the Greatest War Novel of All Time

Date of Review:  Jan 13, 2003
The Bottom Line: Despite the length, For Whom the Bell Tolls is one of the greatest war novels and deserves a place on your shelf.
Review: 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...

One of the greatest war novels

Date of Review:  May 15, 2000
Review: 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...

Papa revisited, happily

Date of Review:  Jun 21, 2000
Review: "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...
