Opinions on his works?

Old Man and the Sea - enjoyed it tremendously, turned me onto his works. Relatively short and I would recommend it as a starting point for someone who wants to reading something of his but may be put off by the length of his most famous novels.

A Farewell to Arms - Started reading it, couldn't get into it and stopped. May pick it back up again someday.

For Whom the Bell Tolls - Currently reading it, just over halfway though. I like it so far. More complex than Old Man and the Sea but very similar in themes (as far as I can tell).

Men Without Women - Got this as a gift. It's a short story collection. Intend to crack it when I finish For Whom the Bell Tolls.

Hmmm maybe I started reading the wrong book then, I tried Farwell to Arms and got very bored. Never got back to reading him.
I guess I'll try another one of his books...

The Sun also Rises is the only novel by him that I've read. It was the one that made him famous for his style. I thought it was alright.

I've heard A Movable Feast by him is really good. I also enjoyed The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber.

Hemmingway was famously bipolar, and actually killed himself during a depressive episode. Because of it, his works are usually an odd mix of manic happiness and crushing hopelessness.

I really enjoyed Old Man and the Sea, but I haven't read any other wonks, mainly because of their length. I liked Old Man and the Sea, but if it had more than, say, 200 pages, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it nearly as much. There's something about short novels that makes them easier to read, and frankly more appealing to me. I may pick up a collection of short stories sometime.

I really enjoyed old man and the sea. Men without women was okay. I read it after I read his other short story compilation "in our time" which is one of my favourites. I would recommend that one.

I haven't read any of his works thus far myself, but my friend read For Whom the Bell Tolls and he absolutely loved it. So I might have to try that out myself, can you recommend it?

Only read one Hemingway book so far, A Farewell to Arms, but it was a blast. Can only recommend it. :3

I was always under the impression he died of alcohol-related health problems. Unless you mean he gradually killed himself over decades by drinking too much.

I thought Hemingway was a brilliant author... sometimes it was hard to understand him... but it always was an epiphany when I did.. maybe I'm strange, lol.

I've only read Old Man and the Sea so I can't judge all his work.
But based on what I've read as well as the opinions of people that I respect, I think Hemingway is tremendously overrated.
His stuff is the very definition of light reading. If you just want to turn off your brain and relax, Hemingway is the way to go.
