Old Man and the Sea

Old Man and the Sea by Earnest Hemingway was about an old man who goes fishes. Seeing as it's a classic, I'm thinking most of you have heard of it.

I loved the first 30 pages and the last 10. 40 out of 127 pages isn't too bad. It's a bit boring, choppy and hard to read. Hemingway does not develop his character, and the plot is thin. I wouldn't have read it if I didn't have to.

Message (not a book)

Hi guys! so sorry for not posting anything, I switched schools this year and it's been a big change so i've been focussing :) Hopefully reviews to come: Lord of the Flies, Night, Brave New World, Old Man and the Sea, Princess Diaries, Julie and Julia, and Antigone. (Yes, most of those have been school reads)
