Removing "Hemingway" from the by-line and reviewing as a work by an unknown writer, frees ones to criticize it as failing in many ways. 1. His main character, Robert Jordan, is always referred by both names...for reason unknown. 2. Using Old English 2nd person (thou, thee, thy, canst, ...) to substitute for the familiar in Spanish makes it sound stilted and clunky to read. 3. Swearing in Spanish is translated to "obscenity," rather than leaving it in Spanish for the prudish reader. 4. Endless, trivial repetitions especially in the first 300 pages. There is a good story here, but could have been written better.
