Excellent story about growing up "different" and finding your path in life. Highly recommended.

Took a couple of weeks, but finally finished. Worth the effort, although it wasn't always easy to pick up.

Not a fan of bull fighting or the ennui of the alcoholic "lost generation" but love Hemingway's sparse prose and witty dialogue. Thought I'd read this before delving into the new "Everybody Behaves Badly" at some point in the future, which tells the real life events that gave rise to the fictional book.

Maybe the hype created unreasonable expectations, but I didn't enjoy this as much as other recent reads (e.g. Homegoing, Underground Airlines). A worthy effort, although I hope it doesn't perpetuate the mistaken belief that abolitionists operated an actual railroad underground.
