Review:Other ratings said that there was definitions of some of the old world words at the bottom of the pages which is why I bought this particular version. There is not, the defintions are in the back of the book which make it harder to read for someone not versed in old English. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. Read more

Review:I thought this book was lacking in two respects. First, I felt the portrait of that time in Paris when Hemingway was trying to break through was not very detailed. Many other books, most notably Hemingway's posthumous memoir, A Moveable Feast, better capture the atmosphere of Paris in the 1920s. So if a reader is seeking to understand that particular time in Paris, this is not the book.

Conrad's world is characterized by:
a. Materialism and greed
b. The isolation of individuals in an uncaring universe
