The truth be told, I started reading this book in 2005. I set it aside back then, promising I'd read it later. Well, here I am finally finishing it up :)
This book's been called "the greatest war book ever written." I see why. It easily fits in my list of memorable war books--next to Crane's The Red Badge of Courage about the Civil War and Michael Herr's Dispatches about the Vietnam War.
The book, especially, brings across how war destroys the idealism and zest-for-life of youth. And the book spares no details about the brutality that is war: "A hospital alone shows what war is like," writes Remarque.
Definitely would read this book again.
