Old Man and the Sea - Likewise Book Reviews

"If you only read two books in your life, this should be both of them. "

"Good god stop mixing your metaphors, man. "

"Lovely short story. Old Man gets a catch of a lifetime with a messed-up ending. It's a classic for a reason. It's a light, quick story. Read it at least once. It's not a highly rated book for me, but I'm glad I read it and would pass along as a recommendation ☺️"

"4.5/5, read this book for school and I liked it. "

"If you want a homoerotic novel about an old man and a dead fish written with the blandness of a drivers Ed manual than this is the book for you! The true entertainment of this book is trying to figure out how in the world this thing managed to win any prizes"

"Bought this for my dad and started reading it. Couldn’t put it down. Finished in one sitting. Fantastic story. True classic"

"This is such a calming book. It leaves its readers with much to think about. I believe everyone should read this novel in their lifetime."

"While this is not my favorite of Ernest’s work, it was still an interesting read. Many quotable lines and makes the reader think about things, life, people, who would miss you if you were gone, morality, sin, etc. Throughout the book and at the end, I caught myself thinking: “Hang on, what was the point?” But it was quickly followed by: “And why couldn’t I put it down?” Hard to explain fully and not my highest rating, but still a unique read."

"Gave me a glimpse into the life of someone so different, yet oddly familiar. "

"Very boring....fell asleep half a dozen times "

"This was one of my favorite required readings from high school "

"It’s short if you’re a classic beginner "

"A deceptively simple book at around 100 pages, but full of allusions to the story of Jesus Christ making the old man a Christ figure. I also am glad that I was finally introduced to Hemingway himself as he is a character in himself."

"5/5"

"I can’t imagine a better rendition of this great novel. If you only buy one audiobook, this would be a great choice."

"This was my summer vacation read, and boy did it deliver. It’s short yet reels you in at every page turn. Great for anyone in a reading slump. Highly recommend!"

"A mind-blowingly good read! I have rarely felt more immersed in a story than when I was reading this one. Incredible!"

"This should take you around 1 hour and 47 minutes to read at 200 words per minute."

"You know a book is life changing if you have a quote from it as the signature on your email. "

"one of the best pieces of liyerature i have come across. easily quick read. a short novel to reread time and time again."

"The book is a bit slow paced but well worth it. I'm not the type to read intensively but this book had me read upon hours from beginning to end. I highly recommend this book as you get into the book and appreciate stories like these."

"Thanks.. My favourite book would be The Stranger by Albert Camus"
