Interesting tour of Italy during WWI but that's about all I can say for this. I read this because I was interested in learning more about Hemingway's style, specifically his sentence construction, which incidentally was one of the best parts of the book as it was an enjoyable and easy read my eyes glided through the text easily. But story-wise everything about this book felt hallow, there were a few sequences that I felt accurately depicted the horrors of war but these seemed to be cheapened by the very shallow interactions and romance between Frederick and Catherine.
