I personally had a hard time with For Whom the Bell Tolls, though it's also one of the more popular Hemingway books. It certainly has more plot/'action' than The Old Man and the Sea or The Sun Also Rises (in this I'd say it's more similar to Farewell to Arms), but I found that its length caused me to get quite tired of the (typically Hemingwayan) protagonist by the end. Your experience may be quite different from mine, though.
