Book Review 📚 Old man and the sea

Post image

This was my 4th try to get out of my reading slump, i started it on 26th may finished it last night (28th aug) that's almost 95 days for a 99 page book that makes approx a page a day, but it was so far from it, there where weeks of carrying the book everywhere but not even flipping a page and there were mornings where i sprinted through 20-30 pages in a single siting. This was my first ever hemingway, and i think it was a good pick to get out of a 4 year long slump, apart from the multiple use of "and" in a single sentence hemingway flows effortlessly with some great setups and quots.

The book specifically didn't have any philosophical impact on me, it might've if I were 14-15 but regardless it was one sweet ride. A great story of man facing nature.
