Next Blockbuster movie??

Sadly, I feel the answer to this rhetorical question is no, the novel The Sun Also Rises will not be the next blockbuster hit. Does it have suspense? Yes, this novel has its own kind of suspense. Like will Cohn find a girl that does not treat him like dirt, or will Bill ever get some money. But no, aside from the bull fighting, this book was not made to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. "The man who had been gored lay face down in the trampled mud... I could not see the man because the crowd was so thick around him." (Hemingway 201.) The is probably the most suspenceful part of the book so far, from my standpoint. Is he alive, or dead? More than likely, due to the nature of horns and the lack of defense humans have, this man is dead. Later, a page over, actually, we discover, yes, he died of his wounds. Not the most dramatic scene ever thought of, but it did bring a quick sense of excitment to an otherwise level-headed story line.
