Summary: I honestly feel that this book is a heart-warmer.
Review: My name is David, I read this book 20 times and it helped me to understand wht Santiago was going through. It also showed me how the old man stayed persistant in the time of his troubles, like when the sharks came, the weather got feirce, and all other thing but kept his faith and stuck to his dream, and that was to catch that fish.

Summary: a real trend setter
Review: the greatest truimph of "the old man and the sea" over the other novels I've read so far is that it makes the reader realize the importance of the concept and characterization over flowery words and phrases that make you run for the dictionary. this and the immortal character of Santiago make this book a great classic of world literature. in my opinion its the book of the century.

Summary: I feel that this is Hemingways greatest works.
Review: Ernest Hemingway one of the best authors of all time wrote many great classics. The old man and the sea may go down as his best. He was able to portray so many symbols in this story. For example the old man, Santiago was like Christ and his disciple was the little boy. Another symbol is the old man always dreamt about lions in on the coast of Africa, I think this resembled his strength when he was young and able to handle large jobs. The final symbol is the old man and the boy cared about nature. When the marlin was being attacked by the sharks, Santiago kept on apologizing to the fish for going to far out.Some people may not like the book because it is mainly an old man in his boat out at sea battling with a marlin. I really enjoyed this book and I fell that alot of other people would enjoy this book also. This book was so great it won Mr. Hemingway a Pulitzer Prize.

Summary: Dope-a-scope, this book ganks
Review: This book totally ganks. It is so gripping and so simple. It uses plain old fashioned techniques of good storytelling. I don't mean ganks like the typical "Let's gank a forty from the local liquor store," rather, it ganked my attention, stealing it from all the mass media with which it struggles today. Don't get me wrong, I've read better, but for such a short simple book, this one totally ruled. Enjoy it.

Summary: ENTERTAINING
Review: I have just finished reading this story and really enjoyed the way that it was wriiten. Hemmingway puts this story together in a simple easy to read fashion that keeps you wandering what will happen next to his character the poor fisherman. I definetly suggest that this book be read. It is a short story that is well worth anyones time. I'm looking forward to reading my next book by this author.
