ceciliacb 's review for:
A Farewell to Arms: The Hemingway Library Edition
by Ernest Hemingway
So I actually liked this. And I intended to part amicably with the book despite being spoiled by the introduction. (By the way, who does that?! I resent you, idiotic introduction writer!) So, don't read the introduction like I did. It turns a smart decision into a stupid one pretty quickly.
But....THAT ENDING!!!!!!!!!!
Who knew that classics could be so emotionally taxing? Certainly not me, but you can bet I'll be more careful in the future. Especially where introductions are involved. But then again, that could make the shock slightly easier. But then if it doesn't spoil everything I could be even more blindsided because I thought I knew everything. Like here. Ugh, I don't even know. I'll probably keep reading introductions because I'm strange like that. Yay me.
But....THAT ENDING!!!!!!!!!!

oh my gosh, so I knew the baby was going to die because spoilery introduction (ughhhh) but then Catherine died too and I was like noooooo that's soooo saddddd!!!! Why would you do that to me Hemingway? Like why??? It hurts! I mean I am crying on the inside! Not the outside because it wasn't a relatable pain for me, I mean I don't know anyone who died during childbirth, but...there are still tears. Mind tears are still tears, for all you nonbelievers!Who knew that classics could be so emotionally taxing? Certainly not me, but you can bet I'll be more careful in the future.
