Publisher's Summary
The quintessential novel of the Lost Generation, The Sun Also Rises is one of Ernest Hemingway's masterpieces and a classic example of his spare but powerful writing style.
A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, the novel introduces two of Hemingway's most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. It is an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love and vanishing illusions.
First published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises helped to establish Hemingway as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century.

Great Hemingway Novel
One of Hemingways best. You really feel immersed in Paris and Spain. Pretty decent narration.

I don’t get it
I found the book totally pointless, and uninteresting. I’m surprised that it’s ranked as one of his best works.

My Favourite Hemingway Novel
A modern classic. The prose is spoken so clearly, in that now famous Hemingway manner - "Isn't it pretty to think so." The narrator voices the characters incredibly well. The clarity of each remark makes this a perfectly listenable audible. Highly recommended, even if you know the book by heart.

The narrators pauses should give you pause
This was my intro to Hemingway. I expected a lot of drinking and internal monologue. I was right on the drinking.
It’s a story. Not a particularly interesting story, but a fairly well written one. Characters are well defined, you really know them. Too bad they never really do anything. But in a way, that’s the charm. It isn’t a story about someone that is saving the world; it is a story about everyday people doing everyday things.
The real issue with this title is the narrator. He insists on using a…dramatic pause before completing many sentences. I realized it’s almost after every “a” but not exclusively then. “He took a drink from a…leather wine bottle.” “They left the hotel and decided to dine at a…cafe nearby.” I really got tired of it with about an hour left, and managed to get to the finish line. But I will avoid anything read by Nathan Osgood in the future.

Maybe interesting for a high school student, but…
Clearly NOT one of the classics of English literature. It could have been written by a high school student plot was redundant and predictable. Character development was mediocre. Message was little more significant Dan, “drink too much and your life will be worthless.”
