I have to shake my head in disbelief at the comments complaining that the plot and characters are boring. I wouldn’t describe hanging out drinking absinthe with the...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“One of Hemingway's greatest novels of the lost generation post WW I. Here is a reivew I copied: The quintessential novel of the Lost Generation, The Sun Also Rises is one of Ernest Hemingway's masterpieces and a classic example of his spare but powerful writing style. A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, the novel introduces two of Hemingway's most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. It is an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions. First published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises helped to establish Hemingway as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century

“I love Hemingway's writing style. These characters were not my favorite. They seemed aimless and self-centered.”

“Classic, but I have to admit I have a hard time with Hemingway. Not as easy to fall into as Steinbeck.”

Yes | No“ This book is a beautiful story of a man who is an ambulance driver dring WWI and meets a nurse, Kathrine, whom he falls in love with. This book would be an excellent book to go along with a WW I study. I feel that both girls and boys can get into this book because of the war story and girls can get into it because of the love story. ”
