The Old Man and the Sea

Not my cup of tea. Even though this is quite a short story, I tried to enjoy it, but there were many passages that felt boring and tedious to get through. For example:

1. The whole baseball subject
2. The old man talking to his hands
3. The overly detailed description of the fishing process

That said, I understand the moral of the story, which I believe is:

1. You can't stop yourself from growing old, no matter what
2. Aging makes you realise how fragile and limited you are
3. Life doesn't always have a happy ending, so you should try to make the best of it

I get why some people love Hemingway's works, but his style just isn't for me.
