A review by radiojen
The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Other Stories by Ernest Hemingway
3.0
Typical Hemingway. Very long sentences that often make it difficult to ascertain what exactly is going on. I had to go back and re-read a few paragraphs because I wasn't exactly sure what was going on. After re-reading, I still wasn't sure.
The major storyline is very interesting, and even quite satisfying. But the substories may have added even more if I had been able to decipher what was happening.
Oh Hemingway, why do I need to go back to English class to sometimes understand you? He is brilliant and can write so much in such a short story, but that doesn't mean you can breeze through his works any faster. Well, unless you've decoded his formula, perhaps.
