A review by kirsten0929
The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

5.0

Enjoyed this so much more than I expected to. The bullfighting didn't dominate as I was afraid it might. Instead I was shown how one could appreciate the style, skill, and technique of the matador. I love the simplicity of his writing style. This was the first book of his that I've read where I really noticed and appreciated it. So many simple sentences creating something so vivid. Loved the story, the time period, the five characters he pulled together. "The three of us sat at the table, and it seemed as though about six people were missing." I love that. I would actually like to read this again as an audio book. I think the right reader could do a way better job with it than I did.
