Summary: A Strange Tale About A Man & A Fish
Review: This is a strange monologue about an old man & a fish. The old man Santiago is down on his luck, having endured 85 days, without a catch. He believed that his luck will turn and continued going to sea. Indeed, his luck turned put for the better and he caught a huge Marlin, which he battles with care and respect. Finally after 3 days of struggle, he lands the Marlin with a sense of profound victory.However, on the journey back to the port, the dead Marlin was attacked and devoured by several schools of sharks, leaving a skeleton of the magnificent fish. The old man went to bed tired but without much despair. So what was the moral of the story? Your luck will turn out better if you are patient, but regardless of your attempt, you cannot avoid fate. Did I read that Hemmingway won a Nobel Literature prize on the strength of this novel? In my opinion, it was undeserving. But it was a good attempt.

Summary: Great symbolism...not overly interesting story
Review: This is a book of great descriptions and great symbolism. It's great to write a book report on but if you're not a Hemingway fan you probably won't enjoy it. It's a good book to see if you like Hemingway or not but not a great book otherwise. Must read for Hemingway fans, read it once just so you're familiar with it otherwise.

Summary: Read it in an hour, think about it for a lifetime.
Review: I read "Old Man and the Sea" nearly three years ago as part of a Meaning of Religion course, and for good reason. The depth of the writing and meaning in this book, in the midst of a simple writing style truly makes this book a masterpiece. Although I'm not willing to say it's a book that will make you believe in God, it's certainly a book that will make you think about the possibility. It's a truly beautiful and wonderful read.

Summary: this is a great book!!!
Review: I read this book because I was doing extra credit for my L.A class. I chose to read this book because it was short. But after I read this book I realized, wow! this book is about life. It shows you the ups and down in life that happen and that when something good happens and it can be destroyed. But also, when something good happens good can come out of it instead of bad. I thought that this was a great book and I recomend it for everyone 11 and above!

Summary: this is a good book with morals
Review: This book was written very simply. It took me a little while to get used to it, but in the end I really liked Hemingway's writing style. It was nice to read a book that wasn't full of complicated words that just add confusion when a more commonly used word will do. This book demonstrates good morals, such as determination, perseverance, and believing in yourself. It also showed friendship that was very strong, it almost felt like a children's book. I really enjoyed reading this book, I would recommend it to anyone. It is quite short also, and it reads really fast.

Summary: Not just a requirement
Review: I just finished reading this book for a presentation in my World Lit. class. I finished reading it in a little over an hour, but in that hour i read a really good book. I have never read such a short book that made me feel so attache dot the charachters. I could almost feel like I was on the open sea with Santiago, trying to bring the marlin aboard. I felt sad when he finally got the fish and the sharks atacked it. I was reading this book to complete some requirements of the class and i am really glad that i chose this boolk. I think that people should read this book because of it's ability to "mesh" with the charachters.

Summary: My Review
Review: I have recently finished reading The Old Man and the Sea. It was a pretty decent book and i liked how it was easy to read and pretty short. It was boring at times but in all it teachs some pretty good values. The old man faces hard times but still remains content and happy. He struggles with a big catch and ends up loosing it all in the end but he still is still happy about actually catching it. It has a good storyline and i enjoyed reading it and would recomend it.

Summary: Old Man
Review: This book was a little on the boring side. But also contained many morals and values. The old man never loses his fight for catching the big one. And the boy at his side gave him strength through the tough times the man encountered. So all in all it was a good book, but I think it should be aimed more towards a younger generation.
