no denying that it's not only one of the best war-related novels but also one of the best books of all time in general. i read it in the original german version, and the way remarque uses language, metaphors or mental imagery to drive a point home is astonishing. it's a book that i've returned to several times after feeling like i didn't really appreciate or look into it well enough the first time i read it. every single re-read was more uncomfortable, moving, spine-chilling than the last.
