Summary: The Most Over-Rated Classic in History
Review:
I know I don't share the general opinion on this novel. But the fact is that I not only read the book, I also studied it in a university class, so my opinion is not based solely on a shallow reading, but also with deepened analysis and studies. This of course does not make me omniscient on it, but here's my opinion: this book is as interesting to read as reading touristic handouts. It is deeply boring and it really is about nothing (call it Lost Generation if you wish). I honestly don't understand why this novel should be so praised. Not much happens and what happens happens in a boring way.

Now, the bashing being done I want to say that there are other Hemingway books that are much worthier to read. I'd recommend "For Whom the Bell Tolls" any time rather than "The Sun Also Rises". I was fairly disappointed by "TSAR", even with knowledge of the iceberg theory and all the other things related to Ernest Hemingway; in my opinion this does not save the novel at all, barely makes it worthy of scholar interest. Now maybe I am wrong about this novel, but I'm only giving you my impressions of it.

Definitely not the classic it is said to be.
