Classic Hemingway. Years later I was luck enough to go on a hike for several days in the mountains of Northern Spain and be constantly reminded of this book - this is a testament to how well Hemingway paints his imagery.

It's been a good week since I read the book but I still can't stop thinking about it. This is my first Hemingway book, I'm excited to read more.
