The Old Man and the Sea

Ernest Hemingway may be a classic novelist and reformer of 20th century literature, but I didn't really like his pulitzer prize winning novella The old man and the sea. The main character Santiago (referenced throughout the entire book mostly as the “old man”) is on a journey of some sort to find a balance between nature and humanity. This quite, simple book does make the person dig much deeper because of its simplicity. The novella has many references towards larger main ideas including some from the bible. It would seem like a quick read, but takes longer because of all the questions that'll go through your mind. I give it 2.5 out of four stars but you can't give half stars here...
