A Moveable Feast

Ernest Hemingway

3.93 AVERAGE


I’m undecided on a star rating at the moment. My reading experience and enjoyment fluctuated. I read a chapter at a time over a few weeks. I felt my attention wasn’t really grabbed and I was quite happy to meander through this book.
I was getting a little bit bored until the chapter ‘A Matter of Measurements’ which was highly entertaining.
‘We went over to the Louvre and he looked at the statues but still he was doubtful about himself. ‘It is not basically a question of the size in repose,’ I said. ‘It is the size that it becomes. It is also a question of angle.’
I want to give it a higher star rating just for that line. However, the over use of the word ‘and’ did annoy me quite a lot… especially as I got in trouble for doing that in my school days.

For this iffy about Hemingway, this is where he shines. Both a history of the 20s expats and in inner glimpse of the legend.
