Book Reviews of A Farewell to Arms (Scribner Classics)
Book Review: Review of Farewell to Arms- a fantastic and dramatic book
Summary: 5 Stars
Need I say more than, "...in the rain."Book Review: Overall, this book lacks a source of intrigue.
Summary: 2 Stars
This book, while portraying realistic portions of World War I, seems more of an attempt to boost the author's ego than to entertain. The way he (the author) has the nurse systematically slobbering over the wounded soldier is nauseating, at times to the point where it is more rewarding to skip the entire section. The only interesting parts that I found in this book were the battle scenes, too bad there were only one or two of them.Book Review: a great book
Summary: 4 Stars
I just read this book for the first time in my college Humanities class and I loved the mix of humor and seriousness that Hemingway mixes so well. My favorite line was, "I was blown up...eating cheese."Book Review: Very bad.
Summary: 1 Stars
Bad reading; the descriptions are okay, but the characters stink. The heroine doesn't seem lovable and great, she's crazy and stupid. It's bad. The drawing on the cover is as good as it gets.Book Review: Left to Mourn
Summary: 4 Stars
The young, immature characters set against an intense, tragic plot gave the novel as a whole a unique voice that at times only seemed contradictory.I often expect and rely on an author to walk me through the grieving process after a character dies, or at least to devote a couple pages of mourning or after thought. I closed this book and had to take a couple moments of silence. Hemingway just left me to face the death on my own, to come to my own conclusions about life and death. It was time for bed when I ended it but I felt instead like going out and doing something special, of savoring the moment. The next morning, I still had the character's death on my mind and I had to cope with that on my own.
