The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway
4.0
adventurous reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A reflection on aging and nostalgia by a hardened old fisherman's quest to recapture his lost days of glory. Every bit of this short book felt sad.

My first Hemingway. I enjoyed his style of writing quite a bit. It has inspired me to keep this review short.
