O livro possui cenas bastante descritivas. Autor utiliza muitos adjetivos e torna a leitura bastante fácil.

Alguns pontos são demasiado lentos, mas acredito que faça parte da cena.

Livro super recomendado.

Excellent book, one of those that I wish were longer ... I didn't want it to end.

Stellar depiction of a heartfelt Father-Son bonding experience, stretching nearly to a whole year - where the duo where confined only to their boats, their thoughts, their late cat Tiger, and the expansive sea. The book made me reflect on my relationship with my father, and has found motivation in me to establish better bonding activities for the two of us. Makes a great Father’s Day gift!

This was a heart warming adventure. A father and his son, build a boat and sail around the world. It's intelligent, funny, and well written. I read this book over ten years ago but at times still think about it.

Excellent narrative art ,as critics suggest . Hemmingway weaves around his narration to arrive at a heart break , an irony , not dramatic but one that makes your head hang for a few seconds after you've read the last pages.

Nonfiction.

I enjoyed this read, although I didn’t always find the writing the most captivating. The story however is quite interesting, and the dive into the father/son relationship over such a unique and challenging journey is very compelling. Almost gave it 4 stars. 3.5 if I were allowed to pick that. Would recommend.

My Old Man and the Sea is a combined coming-of-age, coming-to-terms and passage story, well worth a read. I was impressed by the honesty of it.

I enjoyed this story written jointly by a father and son about their round trip sail from CT around Cape Horn and back. It is a story of adventure and of the evolving relationship between this father and son whose relationship prior to this trip was strained.

the cat story broke my heart

"...a good sailor's description of heaven as being a place with fine boats and beautiful steady wind, and once in awhile, God, please send a gale."

An enjoyable read for sailors, fathers and sons. Good on the sailing although sailors would have wanted more. I liked the maps with the route and the plans of the boat but would have liked to see more, particularly pictures but I do understand that it happened in a pre-GoPro era. Moving the narrative from one to the other is effective and I suspect rereading will produce gems. Touching words from the father, counterpointing his own father and his son with whom he is sailing. The son showed a vulnerability that seemed sophomoric at times but ultimately convincing.
