Book Review – The Old Man and The Sea - Ernest Hemingway

You don't know this yet, but you want to read this book.

This novella was written in 1951 by Hemingway and follows part of the story of the Santiago, an weathered fisherman living on the coast of Cuba.

It is only a short read, but leaves an impression. You will find yourself pondering nature, peace, age, acceptance and forgiveness.

There are quite a few references to American baseball, which I know next to nothing about, but I did not feel this lack of knowledge took away from my enjoyment of the story.

I highly recommend this book to anyone, especially for reading while lounging on the beach, listening to the lapping waves.

Overall: 4.5/5
