Summary: The Sun Also Rises
Comment: This book has to be taken in historical context to be understood and appreciated. First the setting took place in a very unique time. It was just after World War I and many young people were disillusioned with the human race. It also was a period of prohibition in much of the world. These situations combined created a magnetism for many creative types looking for an outlet and place to commune. The other significant idea which much be remembered as one reads the book is that this was the book that set a new style in literature. The sharp,quick narrative style was completely different than any American literature preceding it. This is indeed a somewhat rough read but keep in mind many years have passed in which this artistic style has been refined. If for nothing else read it for its historical portraition of post WWI Europe, and it artistic contribution to literature. Along the way you just might find a character or two you relate to, especially if you like wine. Cheers!

Summary: The Sun Also Rises is a great, meaningful book.
Comment: The Sun Also Rises is about a group of expatriated Americans who are in Paris. Jake Barnes has been emasculated in the war, and can therefore not physically express his love toward Brett. Brett is "dirty" and is incapable of staying with one person. Her "true love" died in the war, and she loves Jake, but they cannot be together because she needs what he can't give her physically.
