Review title: Out of thousands I've read, this is the worst
Product review: I don't often take the time to review books here, but I felt it a duty to humanity to warn readers about this one. After a lifetime of reading novels--thousands of them--I've come to expect a story to begin within the first five or ten pages (and more often within the first five or ten paragraphs). In ALL QUIET ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS, no story begins within the first hundred pages, which are about a man being inveigled into doing dull, strenuous odd jobs around a camp ground. The rest of this nonstory is clearly indicated: he will continue to be inveigled into dull, strenuous odd jobs around a camp ground until the end of the book. Judging from other reviews here, many readers find a novel without story, suspense, action, or surprise--a novel in which nothing of interest happens--to be quite a refreshing change. I wish them well. Unless you're in the mood for mind-numbing boredom, however, I'd recommend staying well clear of this book.
