    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

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