Chaotic

This was a bit chaotic in my opinion. Was an interesting read/listen though. With how short the read is I was impressed by all the travel!

Headphones and it’s like you’re there,

Excellent performance by this group. Close your eyes abd listen. It’s like being there with them.

Too abridged

This left out so much of Hemingway’s brilliant prose. While most major plot points were included, without the background, it was disjointed and made little sense.
