I honestly enjoy reading Ruark more than Hemingway, and enjoy reading about EH.
Having read both, and I believe all of both book wise, I enjoyed Hem much more. I believe to some degree, Ruark was attempting to duplicate Hems experience, right down to the follow up book. No knock on Ruark, as I remember enjoying his work, but quite frankly that is all I remember. Hem influenced the next 100 years of writers and left a lasting memory of his work.
