I finally read "Old Man and the Sea". I have tried to start it many times, but the beginning was just so slow. Has anyone here read it? What are your thoughts on this Ernest Hemingway classic?

I agree with others that a single sitting improves the book. I'm not sure why it has such acclaim, but it was at the very least memorable to me. I read it a year or so ago now and I can still recall the plot
