The Sun Also Rises

Author: Ernest Hemingway
Stars: 3
Review by: Car-Lay

After I finished The Paris Wife  (the story of Ernest Hemingway's first wife, Hadley, and their life in Paris and Spain during the 1920s) I decided to read Hemingway's novel dedicated to Hadley, about the fast life in Spain during the bull fight season and festivals.  The Sun Also Rises is loosely autobiographical and tells the story of a writer during his vacation in Pamplona, Spain with his small group of friends and their love of wine, lust, jealousies and bull fights.  I enjoyed this book more then I might have because I became more familiar with Hemingway's life and character in The Paris Wife.
