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’m not sure how to review this novel. The edition I read had extra information, which was interesting. I really know nothing about fishing, so maybe now I know a bit more.

Such a slow burn. It is simplistic and tells the story of an old fisherman's journey out onto the sea. It was too short for what it was trying to do.

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
