hibiscus 's review for:

The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
3.0

I value Hemingway's laconic style and journalist's eye, as always. He vividly recreated the festive mood and immersed me the reader into the long celebrations to the point that in the end, I felt tired and happy as if I had been there myself. And like with a good vacation, you are too consumed with life to reflect on actions and misdeeds. Whatever happens in Pamplona stays in Pamplona.

P.S. Friends, girls, drinks... it gave me a Remarque deja vu. I guess that's the hallmark of the lost generation genre. you just change the entourage; add some Spain, bulls, and matadors.
