Book Reviews of The Sun Also Rises
Book Review: Don't Forget to Think
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a response to some of the other reviews. You have to remember that there are such things as symbolism and metaphor in literature. Also, there is historical context to keep in mind when reading this novel. People who find this book boring are taking it at face value. Example, the bull fighting is not there just for entertainment, it is also a metaphor.Book Review: Hemingway's First Novel
Summary: 5 Stars
The Sun Also Rises is Hemingway's first novel. His style is lean, but there is really a breadth of depth to it. At the time of its initial release, F. Scott Fitzgerald provided suggested edits to it which Hemingway followed if not begrudgingly. I found the novel to be entertaining, full of people from a time gone by and I can only recommend it highly.Book Review: Simply a classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
Understatement to declare this a classic. This work is so full of life and reflection! A great work that must be read in one's lifetime and no review can sustain more than the book provides.
Seems obvious to me that Harry Crosby provided vast amounts of inspiration to the character development as well as others of the lost generation.
Book Review: The First from a Brilliant Writer
Summary: 5 Stars
A young Ernest Hemingway writes his first novel. Full of the joy and sadness of youth, no one is better than Hemingway in evoking the sensual pleasures of the world. Lovely prose, wonderful energy... Hemingway in the first flush of his true talent. Not to be missed.
Donald Gallinger is the author of The Master Planets
Book Review: Excellent Read
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent read. Hemingway writes using such vivid details that you will feel as if you are a character as well. It is also an inside view on the life of young American ex-patriots living abroad during the 1920's.
