jaredolin 's review for:

A Farewell To Arms by Ernest Hemingway
3.0
adventurous emotional reflective tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
The last chapter is beautifully written and the story can be weighed by its tragedy and is surprisingly lightened by its mostly-tender romance, but the book is muddled by one blatantly racist sentence, the beautification of alcoholism that includes
an attempted normalization of drinking while pregnant
, sexism and other issues that I’m surprised that I’ve never seen mentioned before by content creators who recommend his work.
