A review by johnald1266
To Have and Have Not by Ernest Hemingway

3.0

This was a decent read but I'm not a huge Hemingway fan to begin with. There are some fantastic passages (especially the description of Morgan's stomach wound, and the later passage on pistols and suicide) and it certainly is a dramatic portrait of Depression era life in the Keys. It's construction is a bit haphazard and there are at least three characters that did not seem to fit well in the novel. Overall, it was good but definitely not great.
