The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
3.0
challenging medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Hemingway has such a sparse writing style that’s pretty unique and distinct. I don’t think it’s a must-read as far as classics go for a variety of reasons, but if you want to understand the Lost Generation, Hemingway and his contemporaries, pick up this relatively short book. However, be prepared to read about a group of drunk jerks.
