3.0

When in Key West it only feels fitting to spend some time reading Hemingway.

Definitely not his best work I still enjoyed the vignettes of the people living in Key West which were poignant and colored. The biggest downside was that you could easily tell, that these were three different stories.

Overall, this was middle of the road for me but I enjoyed reading it.
