Progress Book 11 of 100
After reading Daniel’s review of this novel I
was a little intrigued. He has never mentioned wanting to punch
someone before. Then we saw the preview for a film called Silver
Linings Playbook. In this preview Bradly Cooper is outraged and
breaks a window due to this book. With my sharp detective skills
and Daniel making me promise not to skip ahead and glance at the end of the book
(I’ve done that before) I knew something crazy must happen at the end.
So once I finally finished The Sound And The Fury I knew this was the
next book that I needed to read.
After reading The Sound and The Fury I really
appreciated how this story is told in chronological order. The
writing style is direct and to the point. He writes with very
short sentences. I saw this in The Old Man and the Sea, but since
that was such a short book- I didn’t notice it as much. It was
definitely more apparent in this novel and was something that I enjoyed after my
last book. I think I am becoming a Hemingway fan.
The novel is set in Italy in WWI and tell the
story of an American who joins the Italian forces as an ambulance driver.
He meets a woman, falls in love, is injured, recovers, and gets sent back
to war, leaves and finds his love and that’s all I’ll reveal. It’s
a classic tragic war love story. I definitely enjoyed the book and
will give it an A 94%
