I was really excited to read this one and start getting into Hemingway... gosh what a boring start. I really wanted to love it, but the setting descriptions didn't do anything for me and the bullfighting didn't come early enough in the story to keep me genuinely interested. I do wish I knew more about the Lost Generation before going in - I feel it could have helped in some way to better understand the deeper aspects of the story.
There's really nothing more to say than there are a TON of descriptions with small amounts of plot development throughout until the book finally finishes in a 'just as it started out' kind of way.
