Well, the novel shows the usual crisp declative sentences Hemingway are known for. This is about the lost generation: people who were in the early 20th century wantonly wasted their time and money gallivanting and drinking. The work featured Hemingway's two predelictions: drinking and bullfighting. It is a well-written work, but nothing much can be said about it, except, of course, that it is about drinking and bullfighting.
