    There is a reason this is such a classic. You can read it as a child and understand it, even enjoy it. And as you grow up, at looking at it again you notice so much more. I look forward to read this again as an old man.

    I absolutely love the way he reads this book. It makes me feel the actual story. I have already read the book, but this time i'm reading it while listening to Charlton Heston. His reading is perfect, and it makes this book all the more beautiful.

      This was my first time hearing the story, I cried my eyes out, it felt as though the ocean was washing away the years of his life, that he had the wisdom to endure his hardships and the desire to make the leviathan that is death acknowledge him was overwhelming. The book drowned my heart and filled my lungs with something new.

    Thank you for sharing, I personally cant read well as I am a major dyslexic. I am in a IEB school in South Africa which required me to read 7 novels by matric. If you as a reader are reading this and you have children or even yourself that cant read or hate reading, listening to audiobooks such as these or even just playing it in the car on a long trip certainly does help. I listened to this while doing my Business project. Even though I was focused on the project I still took in the book as my self conscious was noticing and listening to the story. I ended having a A in English. So if you are looking for a solution to people not being able to read, rather just listen. Believe me it helps.

      Tristan: When I was young, I never took notes. I listened to every word that came out of the teacher's mouth and remembered. Now nearly 90, I have trouble reading but listen to audiobooks every day. If you train yourself to listen, you can improve your memory and so learn as well as people who read well. I can still remember things I heard 60 years ago. Keep up your efforts to listen well.

It takes courage and it takes salt. Old may you be but dead you are not and the old man fought with vigor until the end. That’s why I love this book

    I saw the original movie when I was probably the age I imagine the boy to be - 11. It was long and torturous, but unforgettable. I tried to read the book years later but it was too tedious and too grim. 36 years later, past midnight and tired but unable to sleep, I listened to this story again. And the movie in my mind was much clearer now than it was when I was the boy. Hemingway was an artist who painted the most breathtaking pictures on the palette of the mind, using only the simplest of colours. Every time I read his stories, I'm reminded that the was Old Man was the maser after all. "Fish," he said softly, aloud, "I'll stay with you until I am dead."

    He was sorry for the birds, the small delicate dark terns that were always flying and searching but never finding. The birds have a harder life than we do except for the robber birds and heavy strong ones. "Why did they make birds so delicate and fine as those sea swallows when the ocean can be so cruel?" She is kind and beautiful, but she can be cruel. And it comes so suddenly, and such birds that fly, dipping and hunting with their small sad voices are made too delicately for the sea.

      So much better than To Kill a Mockingbird, for me. Why? To Kill a Mockingbirds main character is plain mr nice guy... never changes... this book has character development based on self reflection of the main character. Maybe im too harsh or wrong yet teasing the reader with a character named Boo that really was lame.
