A classic and it's clear why
I struggle to find time to read with two small children around but I listened to this in one sitting. Fantastic storytelling.

Great listen!
Great introduction into Hemingway. Will look to read more after this and easy to get through on a lazy afternoon.

Timeless
Charming story with powerful, simple language.
It feels like you are in the boat with Santiago sharing his struggle. The narration is too fast at times for my liking.

2 hours but it's worth your credit
It's my first time reading Hemmingway. This matter of fact style is really something. And I can't imagine this being read better by anyone, what a fantastic performance.

Such a beautiful story and the narration by Donald Sutherland is near perfect. I didn't want it to end. Best few hours you will spend in a long while.

I've been meaning to read this for a while, then saw the Audio version and jumped on it.
Really enjoyed it!
A great story.
