I couldn't even get all the way to the end. Hemingway gives too much advance notice and the sense of impending doom was too great. Always a nice change of pace but it wasn't worth it to me to read ALL the words, even with an author who uses so few.

As far as novels about war time go this one was not my favorite. I found it a bit difficult to engage with Hemingway’s writing style and I really only found myself interested in the final pages describing Catherine and childbirth.
fast-paced
Just like Hemingway’s writing style, this novel is short, blunt, and bleak. It’s hard to picture a (good) war novel (although war plays a strikingly small role in this story) as anything other than tragic and harrowing on the soul, and this did not disappoint in that aspect.
