Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-17 00:00:00 John Goodrum Jack Hemingway was the son of Ernest Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley. He writes that when he became an old man, he realized he had spent the first half of his life being known as the son of a famous father, and the second half being known as the father of famous children (his daughters Margaux and Mariel). The part of the story dealing with his famous father and his adventures serving in the OSS during WWII is at least moderately interesting. However, Jack Hemingway ultimately became something of a ne'er-do-well who was saved from financial crisis by his inheritance from his father. Most of his life was not interesting in and of itself, and Hemingway Jr. lacked the penetrating insight shown by his father in his best work. This book makes a reasonably interesting read for Hemingway afficionados like me, but probably is not worth going back to, and I doubt I ever will re-read it.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-04-03 00:00:00 Rogelio Placencia Jr Growing up with & without Papa, being taken POW by the Germans in WWII and of course, fishing. A fun and interesting read.
