I was really looking forward to getting into this piece. I was partly disappointed and partly “learning for life”.
I don't like very detailed descriptions, and fishing doesn't really do anything for me, but I found Hemingway's detailed descriptions quite entertaining as well. I did have a little trouble getting through the beginning, though. Being a thin book of a few pages, I spent perhaps more time reading it than I needed to.
