All Quiet on the Western Front

All Quiet on the Western Front is by Erich Maria Remarque. One of the most spellbinding war novels of all time. This is the story of Paul Baumer, a young German soldier, who finds himself living the terror of trench warfare during WWI. Along with his buddies from school he enlists in the German Army out of a sense of patriotism and adventure and soon discovers that war truly is hell. A magnificent book. A must read classic.

Ratings: 10th grade - 9 out of 10 - P (profanity) - V (violence) - AC (mature thematic content).
