'All Quiet on the Western Front' was revieved by readers as a powerful tale. "
* 'Brian Murdoch's new English translation...shows that Remarque's evocation of the horrors of modern warfare has lost none of its force' - The Times *
'There are some books that should be read by every generation. The latest translation and republication of Remarque's story of German trench soldiers of the 1914-18 war gains even more authority in the context of the loss of life in wars that still rage from Bosnia to Kashmir' Chris Searle
* 'The book conquers without persuading, it shakes you without exaggerating, a perfect work of art and at the same time truth that cannot be doubted' Stefan Sweig" --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
These reviews were taken from amazon.com. My belief is that it had the same effect on me as it did many other people. 'All Queit on the Western Front' was a very impressionable book. According to these reviews it is modest and powerful. Every generation should read this book because it details what it's like to lose innocents while fighting at war. This book is like a wedge between the thought of going to war or having peace. If your on the edge of one of the two, choose this book and make a choice. The author uses a bone chilling tone to make you honestly feel bad for anyone in war. Mainly because you have no free choice, just an everlasting impression of hell. One thing that most of these interviews have in common is how great a book this is. Even though they were all taken from a website trying to sell the book, these are professional journals that are expressing their opinion. I love the quote by Stefan Sweigs review and how it say it conquers without persuading. That is a great quote to explain what should be done about going into any war.
