Beginning "The Sun Also Rises"

After reading the first few chapters of this novel, I've gathered a feeling of the movement of this story. I had read The Garden of Eden, also by Ernest Hemingway, and I can sense the same Hemingway distinctive writing style in this novel. 

The five chapters I've read have introduced me to the characters in the book. The story revolves around this group of Americans residing in Europe. The principal character and narrator is Jake Barnes. Outlying characters include Robert Cohn, and Brett Ashley.

I'm curious as to how this story progresses. The story is set in the time after World War I. This war must be associated with the character's personal situations. I"m definitely looking forward to this book.
