I have read Old man and the sea many times. Its an amazing book. The story is very motivating. The old man named Santiago faces a lots of difficulties while catching fish and spends almost 84 days in the middle of the sea and finally catches a big shark. The books tell about Santiago’s struggle to live. In this book memories of his youth age has also been mentioned. He dreams about lions everynight and compares this to his own life. In this story there’s also a small boy named Manolin who gets training if fishing from Santiago. Overall its a very good book and very motivating too. I recommend all to read this book atleast once.
