I love spending time on the ocean.  I loved how this book fires up my imagination and perfectly describes the beauty of the sea, through the eyes of someone who has lived his whole life there

An interesting, ponderous reflection on man's relationship with the sea. To be honest I kind of just read this to say I've read Hemingway 😭 but overall I enjoyed it and found it quite captivating. Would recommend for a brief read.

Nice quick read. Did find it a bit laborious but I think that’s kind of the point.

I don’t have much to say about this one. I just felt like it was far too boring. It was a 127 page book about a single man catching a single fish. If I had to summarize it in one sentence it would be: A whole book about another book’s single paragraph. Fine, but too long for the amount of story it contained.
