The depictions of the brutality of war was really moving and show how war is devastating to all involved.
Hemingway portrays the feeling of hopelessness throughout the book and the tensions between characters really hammers this home.

I read till the end hoping and praying that we would see his death.
There wasn't even good romance! Sure, there was sex. Maybe even good sex, who knows? But Maria pretty easily left Jordan for her own safety. In a novel, a character can only SAY so much, but their actions show you their real motivations. She wanted to live. Marriage be damned. Plot be damned!
I can't believe this was recommended to me by a friend. We truly have differing tastes in what makes a good story. Historical relevancy or no, do not read this book if you don't have to. Now that I'm finished, I'm glad to be rid of it.
