5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Century?, August 23, 1998
By A Customer
If you like short story collections, you cannot do better than this (unless, perhaps, you buy Hemingway's Finca Vigia edition, which contains all of these and several more). There is so much packed into the short, terse sentences that make up these stories that you will get new things out of them each time, and no matter how many times, you read them. For my money, these stories and "A Moveable Feast," his memoir of Paris, represent Hemingway's most heartfelt and intimate writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Match for Hemingway, May 14, 2000
By shane demille (N. Las Vegas, Nevada USA) - See all my reviews
I read this book in two weeks, and many of the stories I read over and over, such as "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" and the Nick Adams stories. Hemingway's writing is sparse on adverbs and adjectives; his is straight forward English. This allows the reader to read through each story without having to reread a paragraph for clarity. The images and emotions that Hemingway evokes through his prose are clear and sharp. At times I felt as though I were right there with Nick Adams throwing my line into the fast-moving stream; as though I were in the bull-fighting arena watching Manuel Garcia perform his veronicas; as though I were holding Frances Macomber's gun as the buffalo was charging at him. Some of the stories I didn't particularly like (On the Quai at Smyrna, Mr. and Mrs. Elliott) but the strong stories made up for them. No wonder Hemingway won the Nobel Prize. Certainly the judges for that award looked back at his stories in deciding. Buy the book and enjoy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A review of the CD set, not the author's work, November 13, 2007
By Jeffery L. Smith "Jeffery Smith" (New Orleans, LA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There is little that I could say about Hemingway's short stories that hasn't been said before. But while Ernest Hemingway had magic with the written word, his old recordings of reading his own stories on tape are not good. Instead of sounding like how I would expect the story to be told (out loud), the author's voice is shrill and, in places, sounds more like an impression of Mark Twain. Stacy Keach is hands down the ideal voice of Hemingway's short stories (although I give four stars to Charleton Heston). His readings are straightforward, he employs accents where applicable, and minimizes the "he said" and "she said" words, making them place holders rather than part of the story itself. Based on the three volumes of Hemingway short stories, I am sufficiently enamored of Keach's readings to make me delve into other works of fiction that Keach has recorded on CD.
