Use short first paragraphs. Be positive, not negative". He never forgot these lessons and applied them to everything he wrote throughout his life and it worked. He lived and visited many places throughout the world - Paris, Key West, Spain, Africa, Cuba, Toronto, Idaho to name a few and it was interesting to see these places through his eyes.

Editorial Reviews
In any case, a short interesting read about an extraordinary man. Nov 20, Hilary Lemon rated it liked it Shelves: Required Category - Nonfiction Reef has a wonderful, conversational voice when addressing a young adult audience, but her book was just too long to be accessible to that audience.
Hemingway is an interesting subject anyway, and Reef brought to life the stories of his life, especially his youth, and used photos well throughout. The book looks like a coffee table book, fat and packed with info. It turned me off a little as an adult reader; it would probably completely shut down a high schooler.
Howe Required Category - Nonfiction Reef has a wonderful, conversational voice when addressing a young adult audience, but her book was just too long to be accessible to that audience. However, the book would be a fun and useful resource for broader research. I just don't see a teenager sitting down and reading it cover to cover. There are passages that explain the background and influences for his most famous works. The text is interspersed with family photos and the 13 pages of endnotes and 5 page bibliography shows that the text was well researched.
An enjoyable read and well indexed to make it useful for research. Feb 25, Leigh rated it it was amazing Shelves: There is no genre I enjoy more than juvenile biographies and this one is a gem. Filled with good photographs, carefully researched and kept objective, it is an excellent guide to the life of a difficult, brilliant, controversial American writer.
Jan 06, Christina rated it liked it Shelves: Good look at Hemingway's life, with no glossing over the rougher parts of his personality or home life. Interesting stuff; there was a lot I thought I knew about him but even more I did not, and what a life he lived! Oct 07, Stanley Turner rated it liked it. A very readable biography. There were several areas where I think she could have followed through with some more analyses.
Gone more in depth on his writing, but alas this did not happen and left the reader wondering. Overall not a bad book Feb 09, Pam rated it liked it Shelves: An informative and interesting biography that is aimed for teenagers. I can't imagine any teenager being interested in reading it though as it is unlikely a teen will have read enough Hemingway to understand his influence in literature.
