azita 's review for:

For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway

2.0

---

I first read this book in Persian translation when I was a teenager. Back then, if Goodreads had existed and I had been on it, I’d have given this five stars. I listened to the English audiobook this month since it is going to be discussed in our book club. My different reaction proved to me, once again, how much I have changed. The one thing I found truly fascinating was the linguistic technique. But the story, I had to increase the speed to 1.5 and sometimes to 1.75 to be able to bear the monotony.
