A review by ellahamiltonsavory
True At First Light by Ernest Hemingway
1.0
I genuinely didn’t enjoy this book atall. I bought it from Shakespeare and company when I was twelve years old as a token gift for myself - and that is all I consider it to be.
I finally got round to picking it up last year - and let me say, It felt like the longest book I have ever read despite its nature being quite petite. I never thought to myself :
Hey
Can’t wait to read more!
Or
I can’t put it down!
In the grand scheme of things - I desperately wanted to finish it so I could put it down!
I struggled to feel enticed to turn the pages, I felt as though I couldn’t see any plot, any interesting characters or development at that.
Maybe I’m just too stupid to understand the art of it - or maybe Hemingway was just having an off day with this one.
Kudos to the gorgeous descriptions throughout though, that was a pretty read.
