What Members Thought

I was expecting to loathe this book. It was nothing like I expected.
Yes, For Whom the Bell Tolls is about war. There are all the horrors of war in this book. But nothing was extraneous, gratuitous, undeserved. And the book was about so much more than just war. Hemingway delves into relationships and honor and courage and heroism.
It is a great book.
