Tal SERENITY NOW!


Staci Woodburn-Henry This might be the most accurate review of FWtBT I have ever come across. Bravo and thank you.

Em Grove Thou hadst given this obscenity book a fitting unprintable obscenity review. I turned on my computer and clicked on Yahoo and found your review well and truly well and kept the line straight and clean and with all the old stuff but not really caring and I typed this like a baseball player swings with the old grace of a matador in training and afterwards you feel a little sick but it is a good sickness and washes out all the bile and if you hold the line well and truly well you see it for what it truly is. Hast thou not seen with thine own eyes the thing we work here, little rabbit?


Irina Collazo This is hillarious lol. That's what went through my mind 2/3 of the book thou!

Joe Amazing! Your review is an instant classic!


Marina Great and funny review. However: your parody of the style has much more energy than 3/4 of the book. Reader beware.

Rose Preach lol


Guillermo Galvan I obscenity in your obscenity.


Karen Bayley-ewell Lmao! 😂 That's about obscenity right!


Sonny But Hemingway couldn't exactly write any four-letter foul words (that would be published)! That would have had this book banned from shelves!
Use your imagination! Supplant "obscenity" with the appropriate word and all of a sudden the prose takes on new meaning and depth! Couple this with the awkwardness of Spanish language (thou, thee, thy, etc) and you begin to understand a very deliberate style!

Ros O'Sullivan I came here wondering if I should give this another try in my mature years. Now I have my answer, emphatically no! Thank you.


Lord Bathcanoe of Snark Yes, Hemingbore
As someone said when hearing of his suicide,
"Hemingway, still shooting his obscenity mouth off".

Deb Young And "I am ugly, no not pretty. And how thoust call me pretty but I amst ugly. It is not easy to be the ugly one. Thou are not ugly but I am ugly and but then become pretty but then ugly. And my husband is intelligent and ugly. But I am brave but uglier."
