the old man and the sea

i am currently reading the old man and the sea, by ernest hemingway. so far this book has been very good and exciting. I really like it when an author writes a book that jumps right into the action and excitement. In this book, Hemingway jumps right in to the action. When an author jumps right on in to the action it really hooks the reader, and they just can’t put the book down. Last night when I was reading, I tried to put it down and go to sleep, but I couldn’t do it, and I picked it back up and started to read it again. I really like the way Ernest Hemingway writes this book. He uses a lot of descriptive word to put a good picture in the readers mind. When I read a book it has to be very descriptive because I really like it when I can see an image in my mind of what is happening. Hemingway does an excellent job of doing just that. When I was reading last night I could see the old man rowing his boat out to sea because of the great descriptive words he uses. I also enjoy reading a book where the author shows you what the main character is thinking. In this book, Hemingway writes a lot of paragraphs from the viewpoint of the old man and what he is thinking about as he fights this huge fish. It is always interesting to see what the characters are thinking.
