sn00ter 's review for:
A Farewell to Arms
by Ernest Hemingway
My first Hemingway novel and I was not impressed. I’d heard about his distinctive style and, whilst it’s certainly that, very often it is just inane. Characters just repeating the same pointless sentiments to one another. I suppose there is a decent representation of the atmosphere of the Italian front in WWI but, plot-wise, I found very little to care about. The ending is moderately shocking and memorable but for me that was too little too late. I’ll think twice before reading any other Hemingway, as if it’s like this then it’s not for me.
