Book came underlined, written on many papers, etc. Should have gotten more expensive one. My problem, not yours. Looks like great writing.

Forced to read in school for a class, I was expecting a boring war book. Was surprised by the depth of character development and by some of the harder to swallow truths of war. The characters were my age at the time. I remember returning to class the day we had been assigned to read the one scene—if you’ve read it, you know the one—we all sat down in complete silence, only looked at each other to say WOW we were not prepared for that. Right in the feels.

All Quiet is the best war novel ever written for several reasons. First the characters are engaging and pull the reader into a gripping story that reveals the horrors of WWI. Second, although about the war, the book is truly about mankind, brotherhood, and the lost innocence of youth. Third, Remarque brings to life every chapter with vivid imagery. You can almost feel the chlorine gas choking you and smell the stench of the dead. Lastly, like all great novels, this story evokes strong emotion; laughter, sadness, fear, disbelief, and even anger. I have required my World History students to read it every year, and not a one of them has been disappointed. I wish I could say that about every book I ask them to read.
By far the best book I have ever read. It's a chilling masterpiece and an extremely sad account of the savagery these young men had to endure. Anyone even mildly interested in history or in the darkness of humanity will find this book heartbreaking, yet breathstopping.
