Title: A Farewell to Arms
Author: Ernest Hemingway
Genre: American Classic
Review:
Ahh...where to begin? I enjoyed Hemmingway's The Old Man and the Sea, but I'm afraid I can't say the same for A Farewell to Arms. This is a love story. This is also a war story. But it's mostly a sorta depressing story. Let me explain: Catherine dies. The baby dies. Henry walks home in the rain.
Basically, this novel is about an American man who joined the Italian army just because he happened to be in Italy and spoke the language. Henry, the said man, decided to be an ambulance driver and take part of WWI. At first, he treated the war lightly, almost like a game. That didn't last long when he's almost killed by a mortar shell.
