Is it any good? Cause I usually don't read biographical fiction unless it is great. I like to separate fact from fiction in my mind.

2. Just finished it. It's ok - gets repetitive and boring in parts.
Could have been cut by a hundred pages or so.

3. I really liked it. Loved the descriptions of life in Europe and the book was very well written

4. A Moveable Feast is Hemingway's own take
