"I enjoyed reading this book. The content reminded me of the time I spent in combat and the aftermath of that experience. There is a note of healing in this book, though it is conflicted by the need to not show weakness. Though I enjoyed this book, I find it hard to give it more than three stars."
"of course there's a lot to be learned from Hemmingway and I love that because it means we're fair. that Hemmingway's simplistic, nothing explained, style can garner critical acclaim doesn't entirely make up for all the unnecessarily wordy or recondite novels that consistently hog the literary limelight--but it does provide a nice foil."
"Absolutely awful book. In Our Time is a collection of short stories that *magically* fit together to form an entire whole. Except, none of the stories really go well together, thus, creating this choppy mess of a novella.
Also, I dislike Hemingway as a writer and as a person. Sometimes short, concise sentences work. In fact, sometimes this particular construction can convey a much deeper and more thorough meaning than long, drawn-out descriptions. (Take Toni Morrison, for example.) But I find Hemingway's style to be offensive. His attitude is very good ol' boy and, combined with the way in which his sentences are construed as commands, it's like every girls' worst nightmare."
"Definitely an interesting book especially with the set-up. A compiled bunch of short stories that tells a whole story about Nick. What I found to be a quite familiar story was the story about Kurt or Kirk... forgot his name, but it seemed as though I read it somewhere else before with the young girls he sees playing and his sister wanting to be his boo... not sure where I read it before. Well anyway, how nature is almost never absent throughout the novel is a clear indication of the author's imagination and also him eluding to the peace amongst chaos. I found that to be strikingly (for lack of a better word) cool."
