A review by mattycakesbooks
To Have and Have Not by Ernest Hemingway

2.0

It's pretty comforting, as a writer, that one of the titans of 20th century literature could write such an unimpressive book. It felt like something he rushed, like he had an idea and then sort of pushed a few things together and then shrugged and moved on. It was probably a good idea, but it just never got fully developed.

The racism was a pretty big turn-off, too.
