Search - For Whom the Bell Tolls

It's been a few years since I've read Hemingway, so I was excited to pick up this novel. For the record, I loved The Old Man and the Sea and especially A Farewell to Arms - that's a great classic. But, compared to those, I was a little bit disappointed with this one. The language was really different, not just from his other novels, but from most books that I've read in general. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it took some getting used to. There were parts of the novel that moved really quickly, and others that seemed to drag. I felt like I had to wade through a lot to get to the meat of the novel.

I did really like the main character - I thought he was well-developed, and the ending was also very good. I was fascinated by the setting and the circumstances of the characters. One thing I love about Hemingway novels is the war setting. It was very interesting. Overall it was a good book, but it did not quite meet the expectations I had for this classic.

If you haven't read Hemingway, find out why he is famous.

This was the first Hemingway novel I read and it started my search for Hemingway novels. I liked the book and the plot, too. Great read.
