had to read for school. started off pretty boring, but as it went on i felt for the old man. when i realized that
the sharks were going to end up eating all of the fish
i kinda just had to sit there for a second. i don’t know exactly why that made me upset, but it really did. i also will say that i definitely enjoyed the relationship between the old man and the boy

I love spending time on the ocean.  I loved how this book fires up my imagination and perfectly describes the beauty of the sea, through the eyes of someone who has lived his whole life there

An interesting, ponderous reflection on man's relationship with the sea. To be honest I kind of just read this to say I've read Hemingway 😭 but overall I enjoyed it and found it quite captivating. Would recommend for a brief read.

Nice quick read. Did find it a bit laborious but I think that’s kind of the point.
