A review by jenna_cross
All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque

challenging dark reflective sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

I couldn’t connect to the narrator in a way needed to rate this higher. I’m sure the detachment style was on purpose but it didn’t work for me in this case. Glad I can mark this classic off my list but it’s my third 3 star book in a row. Ugh, it may have been my own fault for reading a war story at the height of summer.
