Rating: 5.0What it's about: (taken from Barnes&Noble.com)
Considered one of the greatest war stories ever written -- and one of the classics of antiwar literature -- Remarque's 1929 masterpiece tells the story of young Paul Baumer, who enlists in the German Army in World War I and takes place with his comrades in the trenches.
My thoughts:
This book shows the brutal reality of war in the brilliantly written words of Remarque. Some of the sentences I read more than once because they were so profound and beautiful. There are a lot of not so beautiful scenes in here though. Trench warfare was a b***ch. All Quiet on the Western Front is a wonderful, yet emotionally draining, book that is deservedly a classic.
