Product Description
This is the novel that made Hemingway a literary star. Set in Italy during wartime, it tells the difficult and bittersweet story of love between a soldier and a nurse. It remains a great book of war and love. This concise supplement to Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms helps students understand the overall structure of the novel, actions and motivations of the characters, and the social and cultural perspectives of the author.

Classic 20th Century Fiction, 2010-08-27
See the title for what I think of A Farewell to Arms. There are 2 Kindle A Farewell to Arms, and they look exactly alike, except this one costs $12.99 and has two previous reviews (one rates it 3 stars and the other rates it 2 stars), and the other one costs $9.99 and has 401 ratings with an average rating of 4 stars. Bye.

Cliffs Notes helpful but does not replace reading the book, 2007-02-06
Quick and short synopsis to the book's story. Read the book first and get a friend who has read it or someone with a good argumentative view to bounce the ideas in Cliffs Notes with you.

A classic, but...., 2000-04-10
I know this book is a classic, but I did not enjoy it. Though I liked Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea, Farewell to Arms seemed rather boring. It gives a realistic and fairly hopeless view of war, revealing of Hemingway's own experiences. The soldier and the nurse's love affair is also autobiographical, but somehow has an unrealistic quality. Maybe I just don't like the nurse's characther, disregarding her own identity. The action is pretty slow and though the ending is foreshadowed, it felt more like a chopping off of a story than a closing. Overall, some interesting themes and classic messages about human nature, but a slow and terse writing style.
