Summary: Remarkable.
Comment: This is not a book to buy for an enjoyable read but it would be on my list of "books to read before you die" and is probably my favourite book of all time. The characterisation is incredible and I was completely drawn in and felt really connected to the group of men. It is one of those stories that I suspect will live with me forever.
One minor point, it's title is one of the most famous mis-translations of all time. It should more accurately be titled "Nothing New in the West" and this is far more fitting for reasons that will become clear when you read it.

Summary: Amazing piece of anti-war literature!!!
Comment: All the WWI books I had read were about the English soldiers' point of view. The reader could easily develop some sort of prejudice towards the Germans by reading these books but thanks to ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT we are able to see it from the German soldiers' point of view and it makes you realise that they were just as brave and suffered as much as any English soldier. Amazing book and wonderfully written.

Summary: anti-war literature at its best
Comment: Great novel. The journey from childhood to manhood is supposed to be full of joy and mystery, but this novel shows, doesn't tell, of what that journey is like during a world war. This book was banned by the Nazis when they came to power in 1933. If you read this novel, you'll understand why it was banned in Nazi Germany.

Summary: Read this before you die!
Comment: I bought an original 1929 copy on ebay and this is one hell of a book. If anyone has any idea that war is glorious you will be jarred severely by the this story. The true horror of the ordinary man fighting to keep alive is documented with crystal clear vision.
I initially found the style of writing a little off putting, but I have to say I rarely get sucked into a story as thoroughly as this one, I even have had nightmares about it's content!
In a similar way that Das Boot shared the human side of the 'enemy', AQOTWF does the same.....at the end of everything we are all very similar, whether English, French or German. We all worry and care about our loved ones.
AQOTWF was one of the books the Nazi's burnt in the 30's. That is sufficient reason to read it.
I can't say you will enjoy it, but I'm sure it will give you a valuable insight into the hellish lives the brave soldiers of all nations who suffered so much. God rest their souls.
If you are buying this book get a hold of Birdsong, it follows a similar thread.

Summary: Fantastic
Comment: I am one of these people who always wanted to read a great classic and enjoy it.
Unfortunately what usually happens is that I never finish a book of this type because it is too much like hard work and I go back to something less challenging.
Not so with this book. It grabbed me immediately and I lapped up every page. The author succeeded in bringing across difficult emotional subjects in an effortless way and I would thoroughly recommend it to everyone.
