 Number of Pages: 211
 Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆

 Review: A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway is a young adult readers dream. Hemingway managed to create an autobiography that feels like a novel, where all the details of his mid twenties life in Paris is brought to life. He recalls being friends with Gertrude Stein, golden days of Shakespeare and Company, and being drunk in the depths of depression. Yet, behind all the glitz and glam of the twenties in Paris, Hemingway manages to manipulate words in a way only he can. He allows readers to dive into his world, and thus, allowing them to find peace in his honesty. Hemingway reveals himself to the world, showcasing his hardships, and how he eventually overcomes them. Readers are able to be immersed in his compassion, empathetic, and sometimes stupid tendencies, as he shows the world who he once was. Hemingway writes about his extreme poverty, heartbreak, depression, and adulterous characteristics without blinking an eye, often causing readers to almost second guess his good natured side often shown. After reading Ernest Hemingway’s autobiography twice, I can safely give A Moveable Feast five stars. Hemingway transported his life into writing, executing it so perfectly, readers forget they're reading. He was able to create a book about love, passion, depression, and most importantly, the never changing human condition, where readers are forced to love his work. I recommend this autobiography to majority of readers. This book is perfect for lovers of fiction, classic literature, and even more advanced young adult readers. I believe once a literature lover is mature, and has put aside Percy Jackson, and Harry Potter, they are more than ready, and more than lucky, to dive into the world of Paris, circa 1920s, with Hemingway.
