I never suspected that when I began reading All Quiet for my 10th grade History class, it would completely revolutionize my perspective on war. This novel flawlessly captures the confusion, bitterness, futility, and hopeless loss of human life on the battlefield. At the same time Remarque eliminates the false perception that war is glorious and honorable. The way in which the author accomplishes this is, in my opinion, without a single flaw. Written through the narrative of a young German soldier, Paul Baumer, this book succeeds in revealing an entirely new perspective to the reader. To an American reader, Baumer is "the enemy" since he is a German soldier in WWI. But through the expression of Baumer's thoughts and emotions, one quickly realizes the harsh commonality between soldiers of both sides, and the inevitable futility of war, with scores of men dying for a few inches of dirt. The images are intense and painful- choking in poison gas, trembling with fear of being shelled, and the eternal loss of faith in life itself once one has been forced to kill and be killed namelessly, facelessly, and heartlessly. The impact it has on the reader is beyond words- one has to read this book to understand the reasons why war is not all what we have been led to believe. I have never been a fan of war novels, but this book goes beyond being just another war novel. Besides offering a revolutionary new perspective on the grim truth about war, it taught me much about the sanctity of saftey, peace, freedom, and life. Although I could never truly feel what soldiers undergo physically and emotionally in war, this book is as close as one can get. All Quiet on the Western Front is a truly phenomenal novel, and I feel that everyone should read this book. It will change the way you think.

This book presents the cruelty of war. It presents it from another point of view, usually we see the side of the american soldiers, the germans are the bad guys. Here we see that a soldier is just a person with the same fears and feelings no matter on what side he is. Young german boys that are not even out of high school, they haven't started to experience life, are encouraged by their teachers and parents to enroll to go to the front they even call them cowards if they don't. Once they are faced with the real war they realize that their elders didn't have an idea of what they were sending them into. Sometimes one wants to stop reading because it becomes so descriptive of the terrors of war that one wants to close the book and forget about it, but one comes back and keeps on reading hoping that maybe the situation will become better for them, but it doesn't and one knows only when a soldier dies it will be better because even if he gets out of it alive he is marked by it for the rest of his live. I like how the soldiers bonded and became good friends. I also liked the part when the narrator felt sorry for the Russians and helped them, because he knew what they were going through. I think that all world leaders should be required to read books like this, if they have never been in the front, because maybe by knowing what it is like they would think twice before they send innocent people to kill or br killed in a war.

First of all, I cannot believe that some people gave this book a bad review. They had to have been reading it upside-down or something. I must confess that I didn't get the full meaning of this book right away, I'm only an eleven-year-old. But if I live to be a 111 year-old I know I'll still remember reading this book. The translation used poor English occasionally but it was easy to understand. The explict simplicity of Remarque's writing made the story very dramatic. The book made me understand the tragedy of war, not only does it take lives but it causes degeneration of the human sprirt. I could offer an endless soliloquy about this book, I could speak for lifetimes and never get the full meaning across. What I mean is: READ THE BOOK!
