Greg Miller’s Reviews > Hemingways Boat: Everything He Loved in Life, and Lost, 1934 - 1961 > Status Update

Sometimes I read a book for the information and I read quickly with the goal of finishing the read. This book was filled with wonderful information and insights but the reading was so enjoyable that I found myself slowing down, digesting everything and figuring I'd finish when I finish. I am enjoying the ride.

I am at this great spot in the book where Walter Houk talks about his time spent with Hemmingway. Houk wrote one of my favorite reads of all time, "Don't Stop the Carnivale."
His take on Hemmingway flies in the face of so many others- "I don't think the terrible vile side defines him....he was a great man with great faults. We should not allow the faults to overshadow the accomplishments."
