A Farewell To Arms

Just not a Hemingway fan, and this didn't do much to change my opinion. This is "the most romantic" of his novels, but not very. The love story simply felt flat and artificial most of the way through. It's one of those relationships where they're in love because the writer says they're in love. The most compelling section was the part where the hero was trying to get to safety after being cut off during a retreat. Guy stuff, I guess.
