Query: Close But No Cigar

A FAREWELL TO ARMS is, in my opinion, a well written novel. It makes many twists and turns, which the writer uses to keep the ready on the edge of their seat. However, these twists and turns seem out of place. Books 1 and 3 rocked!, but books 2, 4, and 5 were quite dull. Also, if the novel had not ended with a dull book, then I would have rated it better. Back to the good side of the novel. I particularly enjoy the way Ernest Hemingway describes the war's use of women.
