A review by camichan
The Old Man and The Sea by Ernest Hemingway

5.0

The first time I finished this book I had just graduated from school. It was a sunny summer day and I was reading outside on my terrace, and I was alone at home. I remember crying throughout the last ten pages without being able to stop for about an hour. I just finished rereading it now, as I chose to work with it for my Methodology of Literary Research class this semester. This second time around, I finished it alone at home again, but now I live alone, in another country. Everything has changed but the way I feel about this book hasn't, and I don't think it's going to. It pulls at my heartstrings in a way that very few books do.
