Adios a Las Armas (Farewell to Arms) (Abridged) Audiobook

" Probably one of the easiest Hemingway books to fall into and lose yourself in, but also the saddest and lost of all his protagonists. "

" I guess it's probably because he's a misogynist and a drunk but I really don't understand Hemingway. I like the simplicity of his writing and found myself breezing through this novel. But in the end I was left very unsatisfied. "

" There's alot of feelings towards this book. Personally I'm not a huge fan of Hemingway as the rest of the America, but I do think he has talent. I disliked the character Catherine and Henry....they're conversations are full of insecurity and they're just pointless. This whole iceberg theory, that he developed is very frustrating, but fascinating nevertheless. "

" People don't give Catherine Barkley enough credit for how brave she is. "

" My first experience with Hemingway and it was excellent. He's a great writer because he can say so much with so few words. For example he wrote this powerful short story in 6 words: "Baby shoes for sale. Never worn." "

" if you have not read Hemingway before please start with this book. It will make you fall in love with everything he wrote. "

" Meh... Guess I was not in the moody for Hemingway. "

" The love story was kind of annoying, mainly because Hemingway has some really horrid ideas about women. "

" Faulkner is so much easier to read when you're drinking. "

" My first Hemingway read, and won't be the last. "

" Some pretty sad stuff. Oh Hemingway. "

" Catherine says, "It's just a dirty trick." "

" I thought book was awesome. This book was about a man that is an ambulence driver during World War 1.while in Italy he falls in love with a nurse. I though this book was great because it tells a great story. "

" Hemmingway has a great gift for displaying the nobility of humanity in a real and cold way and Farewell to Arms is that. It's harsh and true but carries itself well. "

" I am imagining we will have an interesting book club discussion. But I didn't really enjoy reading this book. It reminded me of why I hate war. It made me think about what is love? Anyway, I am looking forward to discussing the book. "

" I usually love the classics but I don't get this one. "

" Really? I couldn't even finish the book. Flat, drab dialogue that kills whatever plot existed. "

" Amazing classic... don't know when I read this, only that I loved it and can't wait to read it again... "

" I am always confused by Hemingway - his prose is so factual - non-emotional even - but this story was so emotional. I don't understand how he does it, and that is what is so amazing. "

" appreciative of the style, perhaps envious "

" Sometimes this book is confusing and I lose track of who's talking but overall, it's really sweet. Sad sometimes but what romance doesn't have sad moments? I really like it so far. "

" I can understand that Hemingway's plot symbolism and understated prose style entice many readers, but it's not my cup of tea. For me, his short stories manage to reach their goals before the understatement becomes tedious. "
