David Lawrence:
Its a short book that follows one event and one character, in effect. Interesting and engaging narrative style.
Delivered quickly and as Puffin book, of good quality.

It was the first time I went out for several days with an old poor fisherman on his boat near Kuba to fetch a big fish. Or did I just read it? Somehow everything that happened on the sea felt so real, was și visible. No wonder this is a masterpiece of literature.

I read The Old Man and the Sea many times and now being old myself it had more meaning to me.
I read it slower and enjoyed it even more.

I absolutely loved this book. This book was part of my high school curriculum when I was there, many years ago, so when I saw this book on my friend’s book shelf, I asked to borrow it. My teacher and I would spend time after class discussing this book, and that’s when I fell in love with Hemingway. The writing is immaculate, and the characters are strong and interesting. A truly great story.

Oh my, what a sad, sad story.
The old man, Santiago, and the young boy, Manolin are friends. This setting is in Cuba. Santiago would take the young boy with him and teach him about the practice of fishing. The old man who is down on his luck thought he should never have been a fisherman, but realized that fishing was the thing he was born for.
One day, a great marlin took Santiago on an adventure leading the old man out to sea all alone. The great marlin kept a steady pace throughout the night with the old man in the boat in tow until sunrise. The old man had seen many great fish and caught two but never did it alone. He wished he had the boy as company, to see this and to help him. Yet he knew he had to go this journey by himself.
After being out to sea for a couple of days, having caught and killed his great marlin, he had to fight off a pack of relentless man-eating sharks that eventually ate the marlin he was going to bring back to the market. In the end, after the old man made it back to shore Manolin came to visit him. Santiago told the boy that the sharks beat him. He was going to give up fishing. The boy told him, "He didn't beat you....

Ricardo A. Rodriguez:
Me gusto el paralelismo de la historia con la lucha y esfuerzo que muchos tenemos que hacer en la vida para lograr lo que deseamos. El pez es el objetivo, lo que deseamos, la cuerda y la lancha, los recursos, el mar, las circunstancias, lo tiburones, los obstáculos, el niño, un apoyo, un amigo.
