The Killers

Wait time is over.
Two mob men, Al and Max, enter George's lunchroom and ask for a meal and some drinks. Shortly after they order the cook and bright boy out of the room; apparently they are expecting a visitor, and they mean serious business.
Not bad, yet not great either. All in all, one of few only exceptions I haven't exactly hated so much by this author. Acceptable even. But it's Hemingway, so whatever.
-----------------------------------------------
PERSONAL NOTE :
[1927] [11p] [Fiction] [2.5] [Not Recommendable] [Ole Andreson]
-----------------------------------------------
★★☆☆☆ The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Other Stories <--

La espera se acabó.
Dos mafiosos, Al y Max, entran al comedor de George y piden comida y algunas bebidas. Poco después ordenan al cocinero y al chico brillante que salgan de la habitación; aparentemente están esperando un visitante, y tienen algo serio entre manos.
No está mal, aunque tampoco genial. Dentro de todo, una de pocas excepciones que no he odiado tanto de este autor. Aceptable incluso. Pero es Hemingway, así que lo que sea.

So, you're not the president of Hemingway's fan club I presume? 😏 I respect that you keep going with authors, even when their work isn't your favorite, though I'm glad you liked this one well enough. Great review, Federico!

I never dnf, so quitting is not even an option for me, sadly. But it's ok, whenever he starts boring me I just start skimming like crazy :p. Thank you Kat!
Fede...What a guy....giving your less favored authors a whirl when they have written in short story form! Fair and honest review!🖤💗

Hemingway is not for everyone, and certainly not for me. But I started this collection, and I'm going to finish it xD. Thank you Fran!
