Summary of this Book...
"The Old Man and the Sea" is about a older man down on his luck, having gone 84 days without reeling in a fish. Not giving up hope he sets his little skiff out to sea to hopefully get a decent size fish to sell for his livelihood. When he catches the biggest marlin the fun really starts... This book is entertaining even if you are like me...I'm not a fisherman.
I especially liked...
How Hemingway brings not only into the written word but into the life of the old man.
This Book made me feel...
After reading this book I discovered the value of never giving up now matter what the odds are against you.
I recommend this Book because...
There is a lot to learn from its pages.
