Really, if you're thinking you know what Hemingway is, and it will be all gun porn, you're seriously wrong! This is a touching, but serious, story of an old man, a boy, and a marlin. Which doesn't begin to capture it. So, unless everyone has read it, I urge you to consider giving it a nod.
I haven't, and I'll second it.
