It was an extremely difficult book to read. For me, it did not truly pick up until page 450. An amazing book despite it being lengthy. If you wish to challenge yourself with a fiction book, this is an excellent challenge.

I really love the obsession of human control when there is a lack of it.

I thought this book was amazing and showed just how power can be used as a benefit or a disadvantage. This book also displayed how power can influence a person's behavior as well as another person's thoughts, ideas or actions. It's a fast read and definitely made me want to jump in the story and give my opinion during the entire book!

A little repetitive but overall it was well written

I found this book to be a little repetitive.

I thought this was an amazing book with such a powerful ending!

Full of action and well written.

It was definitely a good book but a very difficult read. At points it was hard to keep a lot of the characters straight. This book is a good reminder that high expectations have a lot of room for disappointment. I really liked the symbolism Woolf used throughout the book.

Overall I thought this was an excellent read. I enjoy Hemingway's style of writing encouraging the reader to read between the lines. The book mainly talks about events leading up to the plot and at times can get tedious. The plot and ending, however, is true to Hemingway's character.
