Generally I've enjoyed the Hemingway books I've read but as for For Whom the Bell Tolls I could take it or leave it. The story is about a guy on a mission to blow up a bridge during the Spanish Civil War. My biggest gripe is that it takes forever to get from the setting up of the premise to the actual destruction of the bridge. It is basically 400 pages of waiting around and planning. I did like the very end of the book though. Let's say this gets a B.
