Review: What was the point in this book? The guy sat in a boat for God knows how many days to catch this fish. Yeah, happy day, good for him, but who cares?!

Summary: Moaul
Review: I see that some readers think that this was a 'dumb' story of a 'fisherman trying to catch a fish'. It is not like that at all. If you truly feel for the soul of the book, you will realize that Ernest Hemingway does not tell simple stories of war and fishing, but he tells of true conflicts that man experiences and the human spirit.

Summary: (YAWN)
Review: Everytime I turned a page of this book I'd go cross-eyed because it's SO BORING! A good book is suppose to make the reader never want the ending to come, but I found myself praying for the last page. I never got sleepy reading a book before, until now. The ending is what finally got me, it didn't end right at all. I mean why the hell did the woman at the end make a comment about a shark's back? IT WAS A MARLIN!!!!! Don't read this book unless there's a literary genious there to translate the deep underlining meaning!

Summary: The old man and the sea
Review: I thought the book went on forever and never stopped. I felt like I was reading a book a chid wrote and it dosen't make sense. All it does is talk about a dumb fish and just talks about it for hours

Summary: The book is short but it tells about fisherman's worth life.
Review: Book review My book review is about old man and the sea. It tells you about what is fisher men, who are they, what they do. The main character is old man, his name is Santiago. He was a fisher man, long time ago when he start the fisher man. There was one boy who helped him fishing. But boy leave him because Santiago didn't get fish for about eighty days and the boy's parents told boy don't work with Santiago. But boy change the boss, the boy can get fish every day. One side Santiago can't get any fish, so he went to get more far away. He got more and he returned home.

Summary: A Classic
Review: This is, without doubt, Hemingway's greatest work- and perhaps one of the greatest works of the century. This story tells of an old Cuban fisherman's struggle with a giant marlin while out at sea. Hemingway's use of symbolism and his style make you want to keep reading. One of the most notable uses of symbolism was Santiago's dreaming of lions. Many readers have complained that the book was too boring or it was all about fishing. These readers need to be more open-minded.

Summary: feet or old man?
Review: I just have a brief comment on this so-called "legendary" American novel. It has been a while since i read the fun little book, so it might deserve a second glance. Nonetheless, i'd like to say that in my opinion, one should be able to remain awake during a "good" book. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case with Old Man And the Sea. Though it's symbolic references may be partially interesting, what is the use of a book if it can't even keep you awake or inspired. Simplicity may be able to be used to an advantage in some cases, but i found that in Old Man and the Sea, the attempt was a flailing and defeated one. I won't criticize Hemingway himself because i have yet to read his other novels, but i must say this was a particularly big dissapointment. Authors hitting closer to home to being "legendary" american novels would be Kerouac or even Fitzgerald.

Summary: Dig this book
Review: O this is a nice book. Very simple, easy to read, makes you feel like you're at sea, with a big ol' rod fishin' for some ol' cod or a trout or three. Dig this book in all its wonderfulness.

Summary: Come on, folks. Seriously. I'm reeling it in.
Review: Wait, no i'm not. Yes I am. Wait, no I'm not. This book sunk even below the low level of literary decency that i have come to expect from Hemingway.
Rating:
Summary: A Pretty Good Book
Review: This book was a short read, but it was a good book. If you're having trouble finding themes and symbols, it's because there are several. This book deals a lot with relationships, (boy to Santiago) and the circle of life. A good read.
