This book is the sum of a few short stories; some of that is really good, the rest is weird and off-tone. The seams are too visible for it to be up to par with Hemingway’s other novels.

Read a bit of history on this book after reading it and it makes more sense...its blocky, chunky and disjointed feeling.
The "have nots" are so much more interesting and fleshed out compared to the "haves" and the fact that the published novel was unfinished by Hemingway makes perfect sense as you read it.
Harry Morgan is an anti-hero you find yourself rooting for despite his flaws and inhumanity. Perhaps his desperation makes his plight more sympathetic.
I bought a few Hemingway books for my daughter who will be traveling to the Keys this summer on a cruise. The friends family she'll be traveling with are big Hemingway fans and are taking her on a Papa tour on Key West. I thought my daughter needed some prep on Hemingway before the trip.
I don't think I'll encourage her to read this one. The blatant racsim of the time reflected in this novel and Hemingway's use of the N-word (again, reflecting the post-war period) would more than likely distract her beyond any enjoyment she could render from a read.
