A review by dnandrews797
The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

4.0

The only Hemingway novel I can say I wholeheartedly enjoyed. It’s always said that authors should write what they know and he certainly did that. Hemingway, being part of the lost generation following World War I, did an excellent job of depicting the listless and hopelessness of it, mixed with the frenetic energy of reaching out for something, anything, to fill the void. It was an excellent novel I can read again and again and never get tired of. The novel is chocked full of regret, longing, and a deep pervasive sense of resignation that always haunts me long after I close the book.
