I give this book 4 stars and would recommend it to anyone who is looking to get lost in a storyline that isn't riddled with fluff. Also this book is currently available in the Kindle Unlimited Program!!! I felt like this book was going to lead me somewhere that it didn't but where we ended up was better.

This novel is a classic example of the writing style that became Hemingway's trademark: sparsely written prose and terse dialogue that introduced a unique, less-is-more approach to American storytelling. Published in 1926, it captures some of the elements that defined the author: the emotional turmoil of life after World War I the lingering effects of a war wound the appreciation of nature and other cultures and the experience of being among American expatriats in Paris in the 1920s.
