stuedb 's review for:
To Have And Have Not
by Ernest Hemingway
I caught a book at BookCrossing.com!
http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/3678070
An interesting tale by Hemingway commentating on the rich vs. poor in South Florida during the great depression in 1930’s America. The text follows the life of Harry Morgan a good man forced into a life of crime due to the economic state of the country.
I enjoyed parts of the story but found it at times a bit disjointed. I’ve since found out that this was originally published as two short stories which would explain the disjointedness.
All in all enjoyable. I’ve now read three of Hemingway’s novels – this, For Whom The Bell Tolls and Old Man From The Sea. Of the three Old Man From The Sea stands out.
