Goldsy
Really wanted to like this more, but I just struggled to become enthralled by the story. There were parts of this book that were gripping, suspenseful, horrifying, inspiring, etc. but they were few and far between. Aspects seemed to drag and perhaps that is what emphasized the parts that were intense.
I will say that Hemingway produces one of my favorite quotes where I least expected to find it. "Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be. But what will happen in all the other days that ever come can depend on what you do today." I read this book about four years ago and to say I have changed and grown since then would be underselling it. I imagine it entirely possible should I go back to read it again, I might enjoy it more.
