Ein interessantes Buch, das mich aber nicht erreicht.

Read this for school. This book gets a higher rating than I normally give books, which I've had to read for my literature class.
Honestly, I don't want to explain my thoughts. I feel like me reading this book is kind of a sign. I felt very seen and understood for some moments. It broke my heart when I got near the end and those people died. One of their deaths even made me cry, because it felt very relatable.
The overall theme was heartbreaking. Everyone suffered, many died and even more were struggling and starving. But we also got to see the happy and fun moments.
One thing I would like to mention is the fact that Remarque's characters have sass and humor. There were many moments where I found myself laughing or amused. AND THE INSULTS! I felt the friendship's closeness and love, it was actually really cute, even though every one of those people were traumatised.

I liked The Black Obelisk, and I though All Quiet On the Western Front was AMAZING, but this book didn't touch me. It felt a little scattered and unfinished, and the English translation was awkward at times (which was true for the others as well).
