Ernest Hemingway - A Moveable Feast

Pros: Interesting look into Hemingway's life in 1920s Paris

Cons: Mary Hemingway got her hands on it and edited it.

The Bottom Line: This is one of his best books and worth a read if you're interested in how he wrote/lived in Paris.

Review: There's a bit of controversy over this book. Though in her introduction, Mary Hemingway states that "Ernest started writing this book in Cuba in the autumn of 1957, worked on it in Ketchum, Idaho, in the winter of 1958-59, etc." finally finishing it...

Pros: Crisp simple writing that tells of a magical creative time, 1920s Paris.

Pros: Now I know why Hemingway is considered a great writer.

Cons: Non-fiction.

The Bottom Line: Excellent autobiographical sketches by 'Papa' make this a true must read for anyone who enjoys reading real literature.

Review: I am primarily a Horror/Sci-fi/Fantasy reader, so it s not often that I get around to reading the classics. My previous view on the whole thing was that the classics were for school and after I graduated, I would read whatever the heck I wanted to...

Pros: Quick, excellent dialog, funny

Cons: Simple, especially in writing style

The Bottom Line: One of Hemingway's best, a fun, quick read!

Review: It ought to be noted that my Hemingway bias is toward his earlier works: "A Farewell to Arms" has always been one of my favorites and I've never been able to stomach "The Old Man and the Sea." "A Moveable Feast" was a very pleasant surprise in that...

Pros: Excellent and interesting chronicle

Cons: Not too exciting

Review:

Name dropping galore: Joyce, Stein, Pound, Ford, Fitzgerald??..

Cons: You need to apprecite Hemingway to apprecite this novel
