You'd have a better time actually fishing.
On a positive, I thought the descriptions were nice, minus the bathroom breaks, which were unnecessary. But after reading about Hemingway's life I wouldn't be surprised if that was just his style of humor.
And on that note, I HIGHLY suggest you go and research about the author and his thrilling adventures instead of reading this mellow whatever it was.

It was such a nice story even if the end
The story was exactly like the title suggests and I loved how he explains creatures in the ocean (the turtles, the Portuguese Man of War, etc) as well as describing everything so simple yet beautifully.
Another part I enjoyed was the old man talking to himself, I get he is alone and might be “losing his mind” a bit 🤣 but it was funny to listen to him talk to himself because that’s exactly what I would be doing in that situation as well (I do that a lot anyways lol).
Was my first Ernest Hemingway book and I was very pleased!! :)

vomit mentions but never description or the action of it happening, potentially racial slurs used on 2 pages but it is the spanish word for black and the characters speak spanish throughout so its complicatedtawny0wl's review against another edition
