The Old Man and The Sea Review

Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. Scribner Paperback Fiction, 1952. Genre:Fiction

This book is about a fisher who has a very long and tiring battle with a Marlin. The  Battle was way out in the Gulf stream.The Fisher’s name is Santiago he is Cuban. Santiago is a big fan of baseball and he is a huge fan of Joe DiMaggio. His voyage lasted 85 days, it was a very unlucky voyage. Santiago thinks that his unlucky streak will end very soon, perhaps the next day.    

“The tale that is told is so clearly told that a very young child can understand it. It is so marvelously told that an adult can marvel over it. When my daughter was six, I read this to her, and he loved it (even developing a child's fascination with Joe DiMaggio).” - Robert Moore, Amazon.com reviewer. 

I chose this quote because, this person uses a baseball reference. I really like baseball and Joe DiMaggio. I agree with this quote, it is good that a child can understand this book. Joe DiMaggio is the player that got a hit for 56  straight games. That is the best all time. 

I would compare this book to the Hunger Games, the reason I would compare these two books together... are for a few reasons. One, reason being that they are being compared to each other are because they both have a hunting background. Another reason why this could be compared, is because they both want to catch big animals. 

This book had very good detail and it really made you feel like you were actually there.I liked this book but I wasn't crazy about it. I liked the theme of this book, the theme of this book made this book very interesting. The whole book was very solid. I would give it 3 Paws. It wasn’t a must buy, but it is a definite buy if you really like hunting.

  1. It didn't work for me. I thought it was about a crazy old man gone off the reservation, picking a fight with an innocent fish while ranting about the New York Yankees ("I would like to take the great DiMaggio fishing. They say his father was a fisherman...") Here you can find more info on this theme.

  2. It did work for me. Though there are some parts which may seem outrageous and unbelievable at some point, it is still a good read essay writing services. And Joe DiMaggio is a wonderful player.
