Years ago, I finally got around to reading Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms. To this day, I’ve never been more disappointed in a book. I was a big Hemingway fan and A Farewell to Arms was supposed to be his best work. The problem was I just couldn’t connect with the novel’s hero. The protagonist was simply too nonchalant for me to be emotionally invested in the story: Sons of Fate suffers from a similar drawback.
