Review of The Sun Also Rises by A Reader

didn't like itit was okliked itloved itit was amazing
 My second book written by American expatriates in Paris in the early 20s, inspired by the movie "Midnight in Paris" (Gatsby was the first). The only Hemingway I had ever read before was "Old Man and the Sea" and that doesn't really count!

'Sun' was good, took me a minute to get used to the writing style and the oblique nature of the narrators references to himself (his impotence for example). The aimless wandering and constant drinking was exasperating to read, made me glad that God and family provide a clear sense of purpose in my life.

Next up - "A Farewell to Arms".
