yonasweinberg 's review for:

The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
5.0

Hemingway did a fantastic job capturing the aimlessness of the post-war 20s. All these characters seem to do is drink all day and insult each other. I read this in preparation for a group friends trip and I was struck by how realistic the characters felt. I'm sure I could name a real life counterpart for each main character. I also really enjoyed the juxtaposition between Paris' more calm and controlled setting versus the more intense and chaotic fiesta in Pamplona.
