it's divided into 3 parts where the first 2 were a little lull for me but the excitement finally kicked in the third part. preferred her romance novels better
Good not great. Fairly typical contemporary romance.
Esta é a história de um homem que convive com a solidão, com seus sonhos e pensamentos, sua luta pela sobrevivência e a inabalável confiança na vida. Com um enredo tenso que prende o leitor na ponta da linha, Hemingway escreveu uma das mais belas obras da literatura contemporânea. Uma história dotada de profunda mensagem de fé no homem e em sua capacidade de superar as limitações a que a vida o submete.
