I enjoyed this book presented by Audible.com. It was an edge-of-your-seat story about a war described effectively through Hemingway's mastery of the language. Although quite graphic (it's not a book for children) it is a very well-developed story, with so much interesting detail I could picture every scene. The characters are colourful and vivid, the battles breathtakingly realistic, the ending ... not what this reader wanted. Even so, it was disappointing to reach the end.
