paddles1704 's review for:

A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway

3.0

challenging reflective medium-paced

---

I actually found it quite frustrating - Hemingway is famously bare-bones in the way he writes and thinks, overly simplistic at times although there are layers of metaphor and context behind everything he says. I looked up his life afterwards, only to realise this is the first part of a life that proves fact is stranger than fiction sometimes. A classic that depicts Paris through the characters living in it at the time, but if you're looking for the same ingredients in a different recipe, just watch 'Midnight in Paris'.
