I liked this book and I liked how he wrote. He kept me very engaged. I didn't like the end, at all. The last 20 pages just didn't work. Not only did I not like what happened, I didn't like how it was presented--and it didn't go far enough to explain how the characters felt.
The rest of it was good. Since Hemingway was an ambulance driver in WWI, it had a very real feel to it. Both the war scenes and the scenes that took place away from the front. I enjoyed the retreat, the most. I don't know if he was involved in a retreat, or not, but it was well done. The romance was all right. The dialog was very realistic and simple. We don't talk like most writers write.
I will read more Hemingway in the future.
