I rather enjoy Hemingway's short stories, very much so. But the novels are different. This title has two separate story lines; the war aspect is surprisingly exciting (for someone who's not much of a "war story" person) but the love story bored me. Which is unfortunate, as it takes up the entirety of the ending. I honestly didn't care what happened to them, and I was hoping they'd snap out of the lovey-dovey sappy crap. Who talks like that, anyway? 
 I would have liked to see an actual ending to the war portion, but it drops off. It's almost like he got bored and forgot to finish it. 
 I'll stick to the short stories.
