A Farewell to Arms [If The Sun Also Rises was one of the
best books I have ever read, then A Farewell to Arms is
Truth. I simply cannot believe that these books existed so
long without my knowledge of how grand they are. I
consider myself to read constantly, more than almost anyone
I know, literature and simple, and here in less than a month I
read two books that are undoubtedly among the best I have
encountered. How many other good books exist that I have

everything." War and love are obviously important themes in
the book, and the relationship between the two is explored
by Hemingway and, somewhat, by Henry. In the first two
Books we are in the war and the war is overwhelming. In
the last two Books we are in love. And, just as the first two
Books are peppered with love in the time of war, the last
two Books are tinged with war in the time of love. The third
