I have a difficult time enjoying books where I feel no real connection or empathy for any of the characters. I appreciated The Sun Also Rises for its literary and historical importance. But I didn't particularly enjoy the characters or the plot. (Perhaps that was the point.) I would recommend it, though, certainly.
It's been so long since I've rated something two stars. This was so boring and was a real task to get through. I get that this book probably has a ton of layers. It's probably rewarding to re-read this closely and understand all the complex meanings behind every sentence. But I will never voluntarily read this again, because it was just - so - boring.
