I just finished Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises". Wikipedia says that The Sun Also Rises is considered Hemingway's best novel by a majority of critics. His only other book I've read is The Old Man and The Sea, but I don't remember it being so abjectly boring, slow paced and meandering.
No Plot
I couldn't figure out a plot to this book. It follows the lives of several characters between France and Spain. There is a little bit of a love triangle story, they go to some bull fights, and that's it. No struggles, no triumph over evil, nothing.
It reminded me of this classic Calvin and Hobbes cartoon which says "not having my emotions manipulated is such a weird experience".
My Recomendation
Read something else. At least Old Man and The Sea was shorter. I thought it was more interesting too.
