That ending… gripping and gutting.

all that and for what

Out of all 47 of the alternate endings I think my favorite was “And then I woke up and realized it was all a dream”

Best Ernst Hemingway book I've read so far. An interesting read on the enduring nature of death during and even after war

ammonbh's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 7%

I strongly disliked Hemingway's writing style. But it's simple narratives about war and women probably would have killed in the 50's, which I imagine is why he was so popular.
