simonbillinton 's review for:

A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway
1.0

This was a book I had to force myself to finish. Mostly dull, tedious, repetitive dialogue. Boring, emotionless characters. Unnecessary and bland description and basically the whole piece is without much without purpose, drama or heart.
They only reason I gave it one star is because the odd nugget of Hemingway's talents shine through. But it's a grinding slog to find them.
