Review of Cliffs Notes on All Quiet on the Western Front

Customer Rating:

I have to admit that I read the Cliff Notes after I read the book twice and saw all three movies. However, the notes are still helped with understanding points that were not previously stresses. Knowing more about the Author helps in see why he chose the perspective. Keep in mind that any conclusions drawn in the notes are those of Sudan Van Kirk. After reading this supplement you may want to re read the book. The notes include: . Life and Background of the Author . Genera; Plot summary . Remarque's Introductory Note . Critical Commentaries . Remarque's Style . Remarque as a Social Critic . Character Analyses . Questions for Review "He fell in October 1918, on a day that was so quiet and still on the whole front, that the army report confined itself to the single sentence: All quiet on the western Front."
