susanbrooks 's review for:

A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway
2.0

This book reminded me of a bad TV show my daughter likes.
The Secret Life of the American Teenager. In it, teen characters
woodenly spout lines with little emotion (especially little
sister Ashley - man! Buy an expression for your face!)

Hemingway's dialogue felt as wooden & unrealistic to me.
Maybe there was some point to that?

I've finally read Hemingway - check. Never have to do that again.
