Title: Farewell To Arms
Review: As I continue to read books that I probably should have read in HS I am constantly surprised by how much I dislike them and am convinced that the people who make these selections have no idea what it is like to be an average American male student. There is a reason why 15-18 y.o. boys generally dislike English courses in HS and I am of the opinion that it is because the people who think these selections are brilliant enter the field of education and continue the cycle of selecting books that have little or no appeal to the average male.Farewell to Arms is a dreary, monotonous, diary of inane conversations that only serve to introduce Frederic's tale of woe. The only interesting part is his escape from the police on the bridge and then their escape to Switzerland. It was a wonderful inducement to a good night's sleep for quite some time since I only read a few pages each night before falling soundly asleep.
Is the review positive or negative?
