Now I have read all three of Hendry’s books and I have never been disappointed! Reggie and Me is a wonderfully told story. The characters thoughts are so real and richly complex. Hendry’s writing is richly descriptive. His use of language is so creative and beautiful! I wish I could see the whole world as Hendry writes. It would make for delightful days! I don’t think I have ever read a more beautifully presented ending! This book left me with a peaceful feeling: through all the ups and downs it is great to be alive.

What a great book! What an impressive use of language! The character development and descriptions are so very creative…. It all seems so spot on and realistic, notions one may have in real life yet never be able to communicate as interestingly as Mr. Hendry does! I went right from this book to Return to the Wild and I just could not get enough of Angus and String Bean and all the other great characters with those fascinating South African names! Now what? Need more stories Mr. Hendry please!

I completed my first South African safari this year, not because it was something that was on my bucket list, but because friends who live in South Africa insisted I must do. What a great surprise! It was the trip of a lifetime! Upon returning I read A Year in the Wild and had to immediately follow with the Return. Both were great books! Both books kept my real life experience alive! The nuance in both writing is great, Mr. Hendry truely captures the spirit of the land. Laugh out loud funny at times! Also reinforced how I wished I would have paid more attention to the birds on safari! At times, while reading this bookI felt like I was once again in my vehicle with our ranger and tracker just sitting parked watching the elephants or the lions or the giraffes… or driving up an unbelievable steep hill to find the leopards. I hope Mr. Hendry is able to write additional stories Ike these in South Africa!

A Review of “The Short Stories, Volume 1” by Ernest Hemingway

Hemingway’s descriptive powers are superlative. But, and this is a big butt, his characters are stiff and the dialog is often artificial. What works in describing falls short in people’s conversations.

This collection is disjointed. Stories seem jumbled up. The narrator jumps from a war scene to a story set in the woods in Michigan. Hemingway’s writing can be dense and I fail to understand why the stories are mixed up. Is this how these collections were published?

Hemingway often touches on incest and his fixation on death and killing borders on a sickness. He has a morbid belief that one is compelled to kill noble and beautiful animals.

He is a fine writer, who should have devoted himself to magazines because he grows tedious too quickly.

Great narration! Very talented Elijah Wood. I wish I could find the same narrator for Tom Sawyer.

The voice of the Narrator really made the book come alive for me. I felt like I was right there with Huck and Jim!
