I really enjoyed this book. Had no idea what it would be going in, had only heard vague complaints about Hemingway before.
The prose is my favourite part, he does a great job capturing real dialogue and feelings and thoughts. 
Love Rinaldi, “Hey, baby.”
Keep thinking about this book so I think I really like it bumping it up.

“If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. … But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no such hurry.” (Hemingway 249)
