My Views - This book is about yhe old man,the boy and the fish.The first half of the book is all about his fishing journey.Though it shows his perseverance and will power but I find the part quite dull and boring.The second half though is quite interesting.The fight between th sharks and the old man over the fish and the old man's optimistic approach even though he knew he will fail was good to read.

.

But I couldn't quite relate to the book.May be it's my lack of deeper understanding.But you can definitely pick up the book and read to know for yourself.

My Rating - 3⭐️/5⭐️
