I don't think I can get myself together to write anything meaningful about this novel. I've delayed reading it for long, I've read it precisely in the right moment to completely dissolve any composure I could master. I don't know how I can clean all this mess now.

It's just that with some books. They live. ( )

Una bella historia sobre el valor de la vida, un corredor de formula uno y su pareja y un desenlace no esperado. Se recordará por mucho tiempo.

A Sad story.A racing driver has an affair with a woman dying of tuberculosis. She knows she hasn't long to live, and he drives very fast cars for a living. They both can see no reason to keep anything back, and remarque's keen eye makes this simple plot a penetrating examination of romantic love. The translation is solid prose. ( )

This isn’t my usual type of novel, but it made a pleasant change. In some ways it’s a positive tale, in others it’s depressing.

A star quality of this book is the imagery and sensual detail. I could almost feel the cold, see the snow. ( )
