About this listen

A HIT NETFLIX FILM, WINNER OF 7 BAFTAS AND NOMINATED FOR 9 OSCARS

The most famous anti-war novel ever written.

One by one the boys begin to fall...

In 1914 a room full of German schoolboys, fresh-faced and idealistic, are goaded by their schoolmaster to troop off to the 'glorious war'. With the fire and patriotism of youth they sign up. What follows is the moving story of a young 'unknown soldier' experiencing the horror and disillusionment of life in the trenches.

"Remarque's evocation of the horrors of modern warfare has lost none of its force." (The Times)
All stars

Where does All Quiet on the Western Front rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

the very best

What did you like best about this story?

at no point did we suffer the glory, the pomp, or the hollywood endings

Which scene did you most enjoy?

the very end ... I had set myself up for disappointment or a lack of closure, but found it as a reader, which is necessary with such moving and disturbing subject matter

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes

Any additional comments?

this book is shock and awe in the face for the glory hunters, the fantasists and the myth-makers ... a breath-taking truth cutter ... why was this not on my school curriculum?

loved it, saw the film and liked that, so downloaded the book, as always the book is far better, the descriptions leaves nothing but a bad taste in your mouth, how as a supposedly civil society can we do this to each other, and in a time where holy scriptures were taken literally, the upper echelons made war for there own purposes.. greed and pride, it will happen again as the human race can't just be content with what it has, just a desire to want more, it will take it at the cost of innocent lives, the rich always get richer, sad state of affairs as even now with Russia and Ukraine and possibly the world sits on a knife edge to do it again.... will we never learn.

a very touching account of the horrors of war

one of the most powerful and compelling books I have listened to, gives you a real insight in to what these poor young men went through.

harrowing

A deeply sad and haunting masterpiece on the industrialisation of human slaughter for the good of sales markets

A crime against humanity

This definitely stands out as one of the best books of it's century. The focus is on the people, rather than the war, and it still remains amazingly relevant to this day through the detailed narrative of the emotional turmoil, which was apparently no different 100 years ago, despite our tendancy to see ourselves as modern. This could easily have been written by someone alive today. Narration was brilliant, story heartbreaking, a real surprise. I'm glad I picked this almost at random, it's one of my new favourites

Absolutely superb.
