Kell does Earnest Hemingway

I meant this to be quite a bit longer, but my opinion on it is so curt and to the point, that there's really no need.

I have one question for you all -- WHY? WHY is this man held in such high regard in the literary community? Plenty of other writers are infinitely better than this quack, and they're scoffed at in a literature class. I would go so far as to say that the infamous Stephenie Meyer has more of a grip on proper writing than Mr. Hemingway. His books are nothing more than a gigantic run-on sentence lasting a hundred pages and bound.

His stories, such as A Farewell to Arms, have potential, but the characterization is splendidly awful. When reading, it seems that every few paragraphs, characters are having bipolar personality changes. Reading through A Farewell to Arms, I find myself not really remembering anything about it. It didn't stick with me like a good book should. It was drab, and the run-on sentences were extremely distracting.

In short, if you want a good classic, toss Hemingway aside and pick up The Great Gatsby.
