Summary: This book was boring to me
Review: This book was boring because it said the same thing over and over. This book was about a old man Telling a story about a fish and nobody believed him and one day he cautch the fish he was telling everbody about and by the time he got to land he had nothing but bones.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Somtimes I would get lost in the story.
Review: I liked reading this book. I was always trying to think what was going to happen next. Most of the time it had me wanting to now what was going to happen. When he caught the fish I thought he was going to get the fish on the boat easily. I don't think I would try that hard to caught the fish. When he describ the fish it drew a every vivid picture in my head. I didn't think he was going to live. When he finly caught the fish I thought he was going to make it back. I think for how old he was he strong to caught large fish and not be dragged in.

Summary: A book with a lesson for life.
Review: A great book but one that takes a lot of thought. Santiago is an excellent example of a man with true mettle. He strives; he loses. He strives again; he loses. But he keeps striving. The old man is a true picture of the human spirit at its best. Santiago is not defeated; in his own mind he is a winner. He has a true friend in the boy. He has a job that he is dedicated to and loves even though some days are tough. { It reminds me of teaching sometimes} He is a man at peace with himself. He's given it his best shot!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Exceptional book, if you're smart and catch the point!!.
Review: I read this book and a first, I thought it was boring, but then when I realized the real meaning, I was amazed. This book has instigated me to read other hemingway books, like FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS, and farewell to arms.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Story of a lesson
Review: The Old Man and The Sea was a good book, because it teaches you, that no matter how others look at you, you can still be successful. Just Do your best and life is not always called luck! It is the hard work that brings you to your future!

Review: Feeling this book with you heart, you will learned something from it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the finest short stories ever written
Review: The realism of the main character and the intensity of his predicements makes this one of the best short stories ever written. Don't listen to the nay sayers. Besides, would you listen to someone that writes something like, "this book is a fine book to read if you like reading."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very good book. Read it
Review: I had to read this book for my english class. I thought that this was a great book. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that can read. It is a very basic book and very simple to read. Hemingway is a genius. There is nothing else to say.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A True Classic
Review: The Old Man and the Sea is one of the most elegant stories ever written. I have read it twice and enjoyed it immensely both times. The writing has such grace and is so refined and perfect that I could not possibly imagine any sentence being rewritten for the better. The story is wonderful, and, like all great tales, it works on many levels. This is the best book Hemmingway ever wrote, the truest, the most well written. I know I will be reading it again and again throughout my life.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring, boring, boring!
Review: I had to read this book for my honors english class and out of all of the books I've ever read, it was the most boring book ever! The constant struggle with the fish and all is not my idea of a good book.
