Ernest Hemingway.........pppfffffffffttttttttttt(this is a raspberry)

The Nick Adams Stories by Ernest Hemingway. A collection of stories about nothing. Stories that flit randomly throughout time. Stories about nothing and.....nothing. Unless the stories are meant to be about nothing. In which case these are everything. And nothing.
There must have been some literary genius in the past that warrents peoples affections for Mr. Hemingway. This book, however, is not it. There was no plot. The characters were, for the most part, undefined. You learn everything and nothing about everyone and no one. There was some beautiful imagery throughout the book. That is its only redeeming quality. However,that is not enough to sustain a reader through countless pages of nothingness!
This was probably by far the most frustrating book I have ever read.
