A must-read at the centennial of The Great War.. I never read this as a young adult, and in a way, I'm glad I didn't. There are things in here that require maturity and life experience to put into perspective. War is no video game. It is awful, ugly, bloody and painful, especially for the front line soldiers who have no control over anything except their commitment to following orders. I'm not someone who thinks all war is pointless, or that there is never a time when war is justified and necessary. However, anyone who would support a war in a given situation should consider the horrors that await, and this book lays them bare in unequivocal terms. G.J. Meyer's anti-American screed at the end contributed absolutely NOTHING to the eBook, so if you're someone who has never read "All Quiet" before, save yourself some time and skip the last 12 pages. Meyer, whomever he is, is no Erich Maria Remarque, and using the tail-end of one of history's finest novels of wartime as a platform to hurl thinly-veiled "blame America first" and "I hate BUSHITLER" epithets does a disservice to Remarque's great work.

One of the Best. Amazing book

Stark and bleak account of wartime. War ain’t pretty. This book will convince you of this.

War stinks. Book is good for every soldier to read before he enlists . War is not good. The little people pay for the ambitions of the big. Technology has made fighting to the death a very crazy thing. We need to figure how to resolve problems without violence. The only question book doesn't solve is what about a war against evil. How does one define evil? That is the question, a war against evil would be a good war. Like to save Kurds from getting gassed . Or the war against people who made gas chambers. Then the question is who pays the cost to. Fight evil? Sudam Hussien of Iraq was evil but was it worth a trillion dollars to stop him and what replace him? So conclusion is war is a tough job, don't start it unless you have a good reason!,,

The book. Does this have audio?

Amazing One-Liners. Quotable and memorable.

Stark Bleak Painful. The best anti -war book ever written. War is ugly. WW1 with its trench warfare was especially brutal.

The ending was so sad. Best war novel ever

It's boring. 2/10 would not read again (whip that rhymed)

Awesome. I really enjoyed reading this book. I am not big on reading but this kept my interest. The story is very well told.

All Quiet on the Western Front.... Beautiful

Always Relevant. All Quiet on the Western Front is an assault on the mind as it vividly describes the young men caught up in a senseless maelstrom of filth and carnage. There is no glory in war. Anyone who thinks there is has not read this story of the appalling conditions and relentless erosion of the human spirit that results. I cried at the conclusion because there could be no other path to peace for Paul Baumer. Though fiction, the characters are incredibly real and human. This is a masterful work and a must read for all.

Too Shocked To Cry. WARNING SPOILERS As Paul had said in the book you cannot think about these things then they become uncontrollable (I paraphrased there). I could not imagine what the author was thinking while writing this book after spending 6 months at war. It is already hard enough to comprehend the horrors of war told in this book.This book may require a second reading especially for younger people to fully understand it. After reading this after reading about all of Paul's friends die and then eventually himself I was unable to and I am unable to put into words how I felt. At that point the tragedies throughout the story were all amplified. Everything that the young men had went through had been for nothing. Paul's had been utterly destroyed by the war he even felt a calmness when he was dying because he could not bear what had happened. The ending was sadder than Where The Red Fern Grows and Old Yeller but I wasn't sad. The events were just too much. Someday though I will revisit this book when I am able to fully comprehend it.

For any student of any war. This is a "must read". We know the axiom "War is hell." But this journey takes us into that real world. I used to wonder why my dad never spoke of WWII or my brother of Viet Nam. This gives me a good idea, especially of the mental cost paid by those who serve. My heart breaks for our vets and their families who suffer right now, today.

A true anti-war story. The English is a bit rough at times, but All Quiet on the Western Front is a true anti-war story. WW1, or any war for the matter, is such a waste of life.

Best anti-war book ever.. Great read.
