ideals 's review for:

The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

4.0

---

strangely conflicted about this one. i hate hemingway's juvenile writing style. i didn't like the characters nor the message of the book or anything else in particular, aside from a few shorter parts where he (in his own bland way of course) described the overall environment, routine, etc (ex. the last chapter). i also appreciated the ending + the closing line. it's a 3-4 star read but due to the first third being awful i'm bumping it down to a 3.

edit: i slept on it and actually it's a 4 star i fear, hemingway redemption arc ?!
