Old Man And The Sea

I finally read "Old Man and the Sea". I have tried to start it many times, but the beginning was just so slow. Has anyone here read it? What are your thoughts on this Ernest Hemingway classic?

  • @MariaRomanov A few people have told me that the whole thing needs to be read in a single sitting for it to work.

    Personally... It's just slow and depressing. Nothing that really keeps me, and nothing that makes it feel worth reading.

    • It was very depressing, but I think it has a cool message towards the second half. I agree that it's probably something to read in a single sitting.

    • I'm with you. I didn't manage to get through the whole thing.
