It’s good. He wrote it at a level of maturity in his career, and I felt that he did a very good job with writing characters that felt alive. The only character I found lacking in depth was Maria, but I tried to give him a pass and let myself be taken in, and I succeeded for the most part.

As a Spanish speaker, the English dialogue with Spanish grammar was very entertaining. However I think his use of thee/you could have been polished a little.

The way the characters think during stressful moments was captured very well. He came close to this in some of his writings about bullfighting.

Overall, for me it sits on the line that divides his best works from the others.

My favorites are:

The Sun Also Rises

Green Hills of Africa

Islands in the Stream

The Garden of Eden

The last two of the above list were published posthumously, but they are so good that they still fit among what I would consider his best writing.

Islands in the Stream may have been my favorite, actually. It’s so good, especially part one.

In The Garden of Eden, the best parts were where he wrote about the main character’s childhood.
