Hemingway is one of the greatest short story masters of all time. Full of deep, thought provoking storylines, Hemingway will always be one of the best.

I agree that Hemingway wrote well crafted stories. He was definitely a master at this. However, writing stories that hold the readers attention, is a quality that was lacking. Overall, the stories were dull and uninteresting.

It's fantastic to have all these stories in one book. "Hills Like White Elephant's" is still my favorite story, but I also enjoyed some that I had never heard of. I like the short declarative sentences; it makes for an easy read. I love that I can open it up to any story and just start reading. You don't have to start from the beginning and read it to the end. Each story only takes an hour at most to read - some probably twenty minutes if you're an extra fast reader.

First of all, it is difficult rating; Some stories deserve 4 maybe 5 stars while others only 2.
Finca Vigia is his home in Cuba ("Lookout Farm"). This book contains 21 stories in addition to the "the very first forty-nine"; average length is under ten pages. Some are as short as a thought, a page out of a novel, or unfinished. Many of the stories take place in Florida, Cuba, the Midwest, and Spain and are written in very first person; some very early in life.
At times the worldly Hemingway just writes about the mundane, while the subsequent story we may be sitting in an arena watching a graphic bull-fight. The reoccurring subject matter: hunting, war, medicine, tragedy, marriage/relationships, death, fishing, sports, and drinking.
Racial epithets are frequent throughout. Many of the stories can be uninteresting, banal (as if making a report) and confusing (overly informative). He then can make the shift to simple everyday dialog, containing amazing and eloquent observations. He introduces native dialect and uses hidden subjects. Can the stories be traced to his personal experiences? His novels are better.
Wish you well
