Negative Positive
Title: not what expected
Review: I'm a Spanish language speaker, but I decided to buy some books in their original language (english), and A farewell to arms was one of these. I found the story not much involved with the world war 1, neither presented to me as a great love story, since the love that arises is quite infantil. The rest of the characters appear in a too second plane, without further involvement. I think the worst part of the novel is definitively the dialogues between the couple: they seem to be the conversation of two 15 year old kids, who the only thing they can say to each other is the nicest and sweetest things ever; all they say to each other is "you are awfully nice to me" and stuff like that, and that, at least to me, lacks of interest to the reader. The story could have been much better, much more delightful, if this aspect had been more polished. The best is the end, and the inner thoughts of Henry, though is not the end we would have wanted to read.
Is the review positive or negative?
