Ernest Hemingway is the most overrated author in the history of the world. A Farewell to Arms is so inane I could hardly get through it. The Old Man and the Sea bored me to sleep. The only thing he ever wrote that was at all interesting was A Moveable Feast, which was nonfiction.

Ernest Hemingway is the most overrated author in the history of the world. Mostly true, if a bit overstated.

From my own perspective I have to agree - and Tom Clancy is a close second.
I've always been a voracious reader, but could never get through anything Hemingway wrote.
I also read the first 2 or 3 Clancy novels, enjoyed them, but that was it. Successive books all seemed to be the same.
Given both authors' popularity, I had to believe it was me, not them.

"Ernest Hemingway is the most overrated author in the history of the world."
Welllll....okayyy.
So you think the literary giants who wrote "Dreams From My Father" and "It Takes A Village" were better, huh?
You certainly are a savage beast.

Ernest Hemingway is the most overrated author in the history of the world. I would agree. If your going to read the writings of a communist, at least Steinbeck could be entertaining.
