I never liked Hemingway at all. Boring whiney characters. Catcher in the Rye ditto. Maybe thats why Salinger became a recluse. I did like In The Road. I think you need to go against the tide when it suits you. IMO, Brad and George have been known to put in killer performances. Just not in the big money makers. I also don't think Melissa McCarthy is funny, either. I don't mind knowing how a book is going to end as long as it's fun getting there.
