I really disliked this book because of the plot. Though I understand the time period at which this book was written and I did enjoy Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, this story was confusing and boring. I did not like the main character and he didn't even seem to be doing anything that interesting. *SPOILERS* It was just about a man who went to college and fell in love a couple of times and went to war. The character wasn't very interesting and the plot wasn't very interesting to me.
