This was an awesome book. The descriptions are fantastic, you are there helping him catch the fish.(the actual book, that is)iT is a short and enjoyable read. Definately worth the time-you will be amazed at human willpower and strength.

It was a sensational book and it gets better and better every time you read it

Old MAn and the Sea is a book that I don't highly recommend. I think that it is pretty boring but it's not bad, to be flat out BORING. It is about a grudgy old man and a humungous sword fish. This man gets dragged out to sea and gets so bored that he talks to his hands and other fish and birds. I didn't like it but I know some people who do, so be a doll and pick it up, if you're not sure about the book, at least read it to page 50. Thanks for your sweet time!

Well, had to read this one for a summer reading project... It's summer? Why do I have to do I still have homework??!!?? Oh well, anyways, The Old Man and the Sea was definitely a good choice. It is well written with much detail and a fine sense of imagery. It was worth losing part of the summer over

This book was a terrible book. It was boring and tiring! The text had no feeling and had no grab. All it wasn't is the question. I've seen better from amateurs! Sorry but you read it you'll regret it!!!!!! PEACE DOG

This was a horrible book. Ernest Hemmingway was not a good writer... at least not in this book. It was just about an old fisherman that talked to himself and just about killed himself while trying to catch a fish. and 1/2 of the fish was eaten by sharks.

It really was boring to the nth degre

The book was OK. It was boring because all he did was talk to himself. Also, it was unrealistic. I mean, let's face it. A realy old man who hasn't had any sleep can NOT pull on a huge fish like that for over 24 hours!
