Came from your Wuthering Hights (By another genius) review. For Whom was my introduction to Hemingway, although at that time my English was not good enough so was reading it in my native language. I couldn’t put the book down then mostly because of the plot. And I feel if I had started from let’s say The Sun Also Rises, I don’t know if I became a Hemingway fun. Decades later I reread many of his books in English and fell in love with his prose, vivid descriptions of nature and very peculiar style of dialogue writing. It is amazing writing style can be this different and I love both Emily Brontë and Hemingway. I also found out recently that Hemingway’s recommendations for a writer to read included Wuthering Heights!
I have never thought about Hemingway and Bronte, but as I think about it I feel there are similarities. For me, I prefer, the Sun Also Rises, but really appreciate For Whom The Bell Tolls also. Thanks for the comment and keep turning those pages!
@@michaelhite Thanks for your reply! I love the Sun Also Rises, too, after rereading, in fact, everything I read of his works has its own place in my heart. Hemingway has this incredible power to make me empathize with the characters he creates, and Brontë has in a way similar power for me. I couldn’t hate Heathcliff even when he turned out to be a horrible grown up. Just like Hareton couldn’t really hate him, I kept rooting for him believing he could be better deep down in his heart. Thanks again for giving me this opportunity to think about the books!
This book rules and Robert Jordan is my favorite book character. Totally agree with you about the dialogue. Also I heard the Metallica song way before I read the book which was playing in my mind most of the time. Bonus. Have a new appreciation for song as it is totally about El Sordo and his troops up on that hill fateful hill.
Just finished it today. May be my favorite work ever. Thanks.
Onto The Sun Also Rises.
I loved them both, but prefer the Sun Also Rises. I admit that might be because I read that one first. Either way they're both great, enjoy!
The only thing we can agree on is our love for metallica haha
haha lasting relationships have been built on lesser threads, cheers!!

Thanks for the detailed comment. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this read. I guess I'll be looking for even more Hemingway. Cheers!
