The Old Man and the Sea - Final Thoughts

Sadly, well not really sadly, this will be my last blog on the Old Man and the Sea. As after this and two other I shall be done with those fifty blogs I was assigned. Do not be sad for someday I will probably be assigned to blog about something again and I very well may come back to the old man and the sea. As for my final thoughts on the book there really is not a lot I have not already discussed but a few parting words might be... I thought this book was really really dumb and boring. I did not like the story line, the ending or the characters. I found few redeeming qualities about this book. BUT, that does not mean I would tell other people not to read it Inf act I strongly suggest that everyone reads this book. Just because I did not like it or it's message in no way means that you would not like it either. That is something you rally should find out for yourself. There is a reason this book has become so popular and that is because a lot more people like it than people who dislike the book. How knows maybe you will get something out of the book that I did not. Maybe you read it and it clearly addresses you and your own personal issues. You could instantly fall in love with the book. Even though I did not like the book I still appreciate the message that this book tried to convey. I understood and respect the message, why I may even like the message that the book tries to get across. Millions of people all over the world love this book. I know I would trust millions of people over one person any day. The choice ultimately falls to the reader. In my own opinion I would suggest you read this book and decide whether or not you like it for yourself.
