  <default-description>A sensational bestseller when it appeared in 1986, &lt;I&gt;The Garden of Eden&lt;/I&gt; is the last uncompleted novel of Ernest Hemingway, which he worked on intermittently from 1946 until his death in 1961. Set on the C&#244;te d'Azur in the 1920s, it is the story of a young American writer, David Bourne, his glamorous wife, Catherine, and the dangerous, erotic game they play when they fall in love with the same woman. &quot;A lean, sensuous narrative...taut, chic, and strangely contemporary,&quot; &lt;I&gt;The Garden of Eden&lt;/I&gt; represents vintage Hemingway, the master &quot;doing what nobody did better&quot; (R. Z. Sheppard, &lt;I&gt;Time).&lt;/I&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I couldn’t quite put my finger on what was bothering me through the first hundred or so pages of this book.  Suddenly I realized – Garden of Eden is <em>terrible</em>.  Just awful!  Let me explain.<br/><br/>I adore the Hemingway canon top to bottom, even those weirdo bullfighting stories in Death in th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47038218">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'd never read Hemingway before this book. In fact, I haven't read him since (though it has only been a couple of months, at present, since I read &quot;Garden&quot;). Truth be told, while the book is on my &quot;Read&quot; shelf, I didn't get around to finishing it. No, actually, I actively *stoppe...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64494780">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My first Hemmingway book since the Old Man and the Sea in jr. high. And sufficient to say, probably my last, but it was also an amazingly good book in that I was able to read it more quickly than other books through his repetitive use of the word &quot;and&quot; and at first sure I thought this made...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77393661">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another brilliancy by Hemingway. The book was rich. I sensed the author's insights into his own psyche was the basis for his deep insight into his characters. I felt as if he had bared his soul in this. Around the story of the man and the women there were so many pretty touches--as he draws closer t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56542125">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Some of the chapters are beautifully written and make you feel free and light and buoyant. And then as always in the second half Hemingway takes you out of Eden into the Fall. <br/>This book has nothing at all to do with a married couple falling in love with the same girl.
