2.0

(Had to read it for school.)

You'd have a better time actually fishing.

On a positive, I thought the descriptions were nice, minus the bathroom breaks, which were unnecessary. But after reading about Hemingway's life I wouldn't be surprised if that was just his style of humor. 

And on that note, I HIGHLY suggest you go and research about the author and his thrilling adventures instead of reading this mellow whatever it was.
