A Farewell to Arms (edit title)

• Rated 4 stars

“I've always enjoyed Hemingway's style; this was the first time for me to read this book. What a great read! Hemingway intertwines the love story with the war with incredible believability. He makes writing look effortless.”

“Great introduction to Hemingway.”

• Rated 2 stars

“No one, apparently, does barely-disguised apathy like Hemingway. The character's are substantiated by their memorable dialogue and occassional, unique traits. However, this characterisation somehow fails to translate into depth in a book where the most believable character is the matronly Ferguson, standing out amongst a parade of shallow stereotypes. ”

• Rated 3 stars

“This was one of those books that I found tougher to read and didn't remember a lot of it. So I can't really say much about it.”

• Rated 4 stars

“There's a ton of symbolism, but if you understand all of the symbolism, it's really a great novel. Hemingway was a genius.”

• Rated 2 stars

“Very slow. Took a long time to get into it, but I finally did. I was enjoying myself, and then I got to the end and hated it. I just wanted to shoot myself.”

• Rated 5 stars

“Great read from a literary giant.”

• Rated 4 stars

“Moving story of love, romance set in World War I. Great introduction to Hemingway.”

• Rated 5 stars

“Hemingway at his best. I had a real-life experience similar to Catherine's, but with a much more positive outcome”
