Date Read: January 14
Author: Erich Maria Remarque
Genre: Historical Fiction
Rating: 5/5
I haven’t always enjoyed classic novels when I have read them for classes, and so I was surprised to discover that All Quiet on the Western Front was enjoyable. It presents a horrifying depiction of World War I from the point of view of a young German soldier, as he discovers the “glorious war” is not as glorious as it sounded.
We are forlorn like children, and experienced like old men, we are crude and sorrowful and superficial – I believe we are lost.
