A review by theuncultured
The Snows of Kilimanjaro by Ernest Hemingway

4.0

I kind of wanted to dislike this book because I can't remember the last time I read a collection of short stories and thought to myself, "yeah, that's something I want to do more often!" but what can I say? Hemingway tells a mean 3-pager. These are perfect little stories with interesting characters. Every character seemed to convey what Hemingway was feeling at the time of writing the story; when he hated women, we had 'The End of Something', when he was in search of solitude we had 'Big Two-Hearted River' and when he felt disappointment for not telling a story we had 'The Snows of Kilimanjaro', etc. The gist is that this is a great book, especially for those who want to know a little more about Ernest Hemingway.
