Summary: The WORST book of all TIME!
Review: I was actually looking forward to reading this but from page one I couldn't keep my eyes open. The characters had all the personality of wood chips! Infact, it would be more interesting to sit and watch the dog poop in my back yard petrify! I have never read such a boring book in all my life. It was EXTEREMLY hard to finish. It actually took me 1 month! And if I had to hear GOD'S name in vain one more time I would have burned the book, but it wasn't mine so UNFORTUNATLY I couldn't! Well, I'll will give it some credit..........the front cover is BEAUTIFUL.

Summary: Very thought provoking and deep book.
Review: A Farewell To Arms has so much symbolism and learning experiences for every age. I am fifteen and it's my favorite book. I was expecting some stupid war love story, but there is so much more to it than that. The best book ever!

Summary: this is Hemingway's greatest novel
Review: I have taught Hemingway in high school and think that AFTA is the most wonderful novel he ever wrote. His heroine is one of his most liberated. Although in most of his books the women were weak there is nothing wrong with this one. The last lines remain etched on my mind forever, Thanks Ernest!

Summary: A tragic story of war and its effect on young people.
Review: I do not understand Hemingway's genius. I agree he can tell a story masterfully with an economical use of words. (He probably could have written Conrad's 'The Heart of Darkness' in 500 words or less). But his characters seem so unemotional and he overuses certain words. How many times did he use the word darling? I liked ' Farewell' much better than ' The Sun Also Rises', which I despised. Frederick and Katherine were likable charcters thrown into situations that they could not control. I have not given up on Heminghway and I plan to read some of his later works.

Summary: False glorification, but exceptional imagery
Review: After horrific WWI trench warfare with Baumer in Remarque's ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT and stomach-churning imagery in such recent WWII flics as SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, Hemingways F2A leaves the impression that I have been robbed of the true horror of the World Wars and spoonfed with an idealistic, glorified lovestory. Secondly, I am truly disappointed by Hemingway's lack of regard of the loss of human life in certain instances - such as the lack of compassion for Aymo's fate, no remorse after shooting the fleeting deserters, and the referral to the "freshly skinned rabbit" in the last chapter. Finally, the frequent alcohol abuse not only forshadows Hemingway's own professional decline but yet again emphasises his tendency to glorify evil.However, if the reader is in search of a beautifully written fictitous account of a couple's triumpth over their sadistic surroundings and their unconditional stand for each other amidst the ravages of war and wants to endulge in an excellent potrayal of beautiful pastoral Italy and become encaptured in Hemingway's unique ability to capture his readers by exceptional, well-planned, crafty wording, and can learn to tolerate such run-on sentences as this one as well as confusing dialouge, F2A is an exellent choice. I have to confess, if it had not been for the last chapter of the book, I would have given it fifteen stars out of five and would have found nothing negative to say about it. Truly great until the end! Now, I'm interested in how the OLD MAN AND THE SEA will turn out! If it ends anything like F2A, I promiss: it will burn!

Summary: Untouchable stature
Review: This is the best war novel ever written. Of recent novels, only "The Triumph and the Glory" can come close to presenting the human drama of conflict in so memorable a manner. Of course, if you go back further, "The Naked and the Dead", and "The Bridges of Toko-ri" also come to mind as magnificent novels in this field.

Summary: The
Review: This book is magnificent. It is poignant, engaging, and moving. When reading it, it is important to be aware of Hemingway's writing style. One of the best ways to imagine the novel as you read it is in a b/w movie. I know it sounds strange, but it really helps. Many people say that they read the novel fast. It is important to concentrate on what Hemingway writes and to read in between the lines. He rewrote the ending over twenty times, appreciate what is there :).
