Editorial Reviews

Review

"Jack Hemingway had as direct connection with the natural world as any writer who ever lived - including his father. Fishing and hunting and the good life itself live on his pages."
--Terry McDonell, Managing Editor/Sports Illustrated

"Having a world-famous parent known as much for his hairy-chested credo as his craft could only have been daunting, but Jack seems very much his own man who approached life with zeal, humor and a quiet grace, all of which shines through in his candid, unpretentious recollections. "Hemingway" and "fishing" are synonymous, and Jack does the name proud; A Life Worth Living is well worth reading! Fly fishing enthusiasts and Hemingway aficionados will want this book. Highly recommended."--Library Journal.

"Hemingway" and "fishing" are synonymous, and Jack does the name proud. Fly-fishing enthusiasts and Hemingway aficionados will want this book in their creel. Highly recommended."--The Library Journal

"It is a well-written selection of experiences in the outdoors."-- The (Battle Creek, MI) Enquirer
