3.0

I would only read this if you want to see how Hemingway developed as a writer or you're a completionist going through all his writing. At points, you can see what makes Hemingway the great writer he became, but ultimately, this is a pretty unremarkable book that is only notable because Hemingway wrote it.

It's a fun story, goofy at points, and a pretty quick read. I did enjoy the inclusion of "Authors notes" and think it would be interesting to see what his writing would have been like if he continued with that.
