Dialogue was too confusing and jumbled, plotline was boring and slow until the predictable - and depressing - ending. Did not love it and I wonder how it became a well known classic.

Hemingway is funny...I have such trouble getting into his books/short stories, and when I finish them, I can't figure out what the problem was. :) Farewell To Arms is no different.

Stick with it...this is a good one. :)
