“I really enjoyed this simple story of an old man struggling against nature, himself, and of course a large fish. It’s about luck, determination, and the fickle nature of life. It is a very fast read. It reads like a fable in the same way that The Alchemist does. I have saved this book on my shelf for my daughter when she grows up.
