Marissa Levien rated a book it was amazing The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
The thing I love about Ernest Hemingway is how much he understands the complex female psyche. He just really understands women on an emotional level, and his writing bears that out.

A happy-go-lucky tale of an extremely well-adjusted man and his whale buddy. 5 stars for telling me how many handy things I can do with whale oil.
