Hi Mair. :)
Part of my problem with the book was that I wasn't altogether sure that Hemingway thought their lives were shallow. I kept wondering throughout the book whether the feelings it caused me to feel were the ones Hemingway intended or not.
Last night while monitoring a printout I tried to do some internet research on Hemingway in order to try to figure out what he intended with the book. I ran across this site, among others, and found it rather enlightening.
