How This Book Should Have Gone (Went?) Santiago, this old Cuban man, hasn't been able to catch a fish in months. Despite this and the little faith his fellow fishermen seem to have in him, Santiago remains determined. One day he goes out really far out to sea in order to have a better chance of catching a fish. And, eventually he gets all lucky and catches a gigantic marlin. Yippee. The only thing is, he's alone (there's no Manolin to help him) so he can't lift the marlin onto the boat. So he just lets the still-alive marlin lead him wherever. For days. Eventually, Santiago gets tired of this and kills the fish. The marlin leaves a trail of blood and sharks catch on. Despite his efforts, Santiago is unable to get rid of them. The sharks eat all of the marlin, almost capsize the boat, and bites Santiago mortally. Somehow, Santiago gets his boat and the marlin skeleton back to shore and dies at the feet of the fishermen (and Manolin) whom had doubted him. The End :) Now doesn't that sound interesting? (And if it doesn't, oh well) Too bad this didn't happen. My teacher told us that Hemingway is known for his simple writing. I should have known then that I wouldn't like this book. I like fluffy stuff. I like drama and intense dialogue. This novella (eww) didn't have any of that. It sucked, to be honest. The story above is about half realistic. Santiago. Old fisherman. Manolin. Old man's 'friend' (Ashley insists that there's a secret pedophile relationship going on). Stupid. Santiago. Goes out far to sea. Catches stupid marlin. Doesn't let go of stupid marlin. Marlin is killed. Blah. Blah. BLAH I just couldn't stand it. It was almost as bad, if not worse, than the Scarlet Letter. Which is saying a lot. The title was wrong. It should have been called "The Old Man and the Marlin". Sorry Hemingway. Santiago was so random and I couldn't relate to him at all. Like I said before, the language was too basic. All of the sentences were like this: The old man was at sea. He urinated out of the boat. He wondered about baseball. He thought about the boy. He urinated out of the boat. He loved the marlin. I will kill the marlin, he thought. I didn't like any of the characters, I didn't like the plot and I didn't like the writing style. Now that I think about it I'm not sure why I gave it two stars. I think I feel like being generous. I don't know, maybe I'll change it when I'm feeling crappy or something. BLAH!

Anyone who writes or wants to write must read this book. This is an absolute must have. I wish I could give it 6 stars.

This woman is a little insane, but I too have stealthily removed extra apostrophes from restaurant menu boards, so I probably shouldn't be casting stones at the kettle or whatever it is.

difficult terms of buddhism make it a very dense read...

I found this a rather disappointing read, perhaps because I did not have a thorough knowledge of South American history and was unfamiliar with the historical characters presented by Marquez and perhaps because I was expecting more!!!

Every book in this series is AMAZING. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
This was a moving book about a teenage girl's life experiences. A short read that I would recommend to fans of YA.
