3.0

I felt so torn with this book. I stopped reading it halfway through, but I felt guilty. Like, I hadn't given this Pulitzer Prize winning book a chance. I realized, however, post apocalyptic novels just aren't really for me. There was hope in it, yes. But, the gory an raw descriptions of death around them made it hard for me to read if I wanted to go to bed.

5.0

This short story was a lovely quick read. I loved Santiago's character development. I loved his determination. I loved the allusion to Christ and his atonement.

Needless to say, I will be reading more Hemingway. I don't know why it has taken me 23 years to pick up something by him.
