Ahhh the mush. I love it. Everyone should read it once.

The theme of endurance is fitting for a book that required endurance to read. A literary classic for a reason, however, not necessarily an entertaining read. The prose is straightforward but the style of writing that elucidates the themes of the book also kept me from becoming invested in its characters. Worth reading once to experience Hemingway’s “Iceberg Theory” but not a book I would rave about or reread.

Great book very well written and enthralling. I couldn’t put it down. Makes you feel for the main character and makes you think what would I do if I were him. For being written a long time ago it wasn’t written esoterically and was easy to read out loud.

Tragic love story is presented where the characters live like tomorrow could be their last and ultimately is their last. The story presents the horror and chaos of war as well.
