I haven't finished the book yet by a long shot, but I remember why I thought Hemingway was way too clever.
He does sketches of characters and seems to think that the sketches are the characters. A few breezy lines and he's summed up just about everyone.
I don't know if I'm explaining it at all well, but it's what really irritates me about Hemingway. I can be amused at his stories, and he is an excellent raconteur, but he leaves me feeling....
Oh I don't know. Maybe if I finish the story it will come to me.
