As we well know, I love Hemingway, and this is another novel that did not disappoint. Hemingway has an amazing ability to tell a story with such simplicity in language, which is why I love him. His characters are so complex and so well-written that it's easy to feel emotions for said characters. In this novel, you feel the old man's struggle, you feel happy for him, you feel sorry for him. The only part that I didn't like about this novel was the encounter with the shark, and that's only because I'm irrationally afraid of them, haha. Overall, this novel was kind of sad but still very good :)
