This was an awesome book. The descriptions are fantastic, you are there helping him catch the fish.(the actual book, that is)iT is a short and enjoyable read. Definately worth the time-you will be amazed at human willpower and strength.

Well, had to read this one for a summer reading project... It's summer? Why do I have to do I still have homework??!!?? Oh well, anyways, The Old Man and the Sea was definitely a good choice. It is well written with much detail and a fine sense of imagery. It was worth losing part of the summer over

Old MAn and the Sea is a book that I don't highly recommend. I think that it is pretty boring but it's not bad, to be flat out BORING. It is about a grudgy old man and a humungous sword fish. This man gets dragged out to sea and gets so bored that he talks to his hands and other fish and birds. I didn't like it but I know some people who do, so be a doll and pick it up, if you're not sure about the book, at least read it to page 50. Thanks for your sweet time!
OK December 20, 1999

The book was OK. It was boring because all he did was talk to himself. Also, it was unrealistic. I mean, let's face it. A realy old man who hasn't had any sleep can NOT pull on a huge fish like that for over 24 hours!
