avagarrett's review against another edition

3.0

I honestly didn't feel the loving relationship between Frederick and Catherine that Hemingway (blandly) described throughout the novel. But, I didn't really feel any of it. This was probably partially me, and partially Hemingway's style. I wanted to love this book... but between reading it for school and having to look out for symbols, metaphors, or themes, I quickly became disinterested. I've never really liked historical fiction anyway. Hopefully, my next Hemingway experience will be better than this one.
