Eins meiner absoluten Lieblingsbücher. Niemand könnte die Grauen des Krieges in so schöne Worte einbetten wie Remarque. Das Buch ist so faszinierend die pazifistische Botschaft erzählt sich ganz von selbst ohne dass der Autor explizit darauf hinweisen muss. Auch über hundert Jahre nach Ende des Krieges ist es wichtig solche Bücher zu lesen und zu erinnern was der Krieg damals und immer noch heute mit Menschen anrichtet.

My brain was in a total fog whilst reading this and I’m writing this review over a year after having read it but I remember it being incredible
