Minor: Excrement

A really thought-provoking book, with rich, devastating imagery and equally deep and devastating reflection from the protagonist throughout. A deeply human, moving and raw experience. I found myself shocked at how well I was able to relate to these enormous emotions, despite never having experienced anything remotely close to what is described throughout - this is a testament to how authentic and human the writing is. I felt as Paul felt as he felt it. One of the best books I’ve read.

A chilling depiction of the unspeakable atrocities of war bared through a humanistic lens, All Quiet on the Western Front timelessly captures the fundamental sickness of the world—of human nature and the futility of conflict combined with the unbearable weight of its history, in pure, utter discord.
