About to finish reading all of Heminway's printed works pre-death. Are his posthumously released books worth it?

A Moveable Feast, Islands in the Stream, The Garden of Eden and maybe a few more were released after he died. I love all his other work and was wondering if these books are worth the read?

From what I understand, Hemingway (like many authors) liked to revise a lot, so I'm not sure a book that he chose not to release/wasn't done with is something that is worth the read. Has anyone read any of these books? Do they feel like completed works, or more like a draft of something that had potential for one?
