Hemingway’s writing style

A Farewell to Arms is the first Hemingway book that I have read. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, and admittedly, I was a bit lost trying to comprehend what exactly I was reading during the first few chapters due to Hemingway’s unique, journalistic, emotionless style of writing. But after a while I was able to pick it up and flow with it better. I find it amazing how Hemingway is able to include so much meaningless information in the novels without losing the reader. In a similar way, I also find it incredible that hidden within the meaningless information, Hemingway sprinkles important “read-between-the-lines” details that are relevant to advancing the plot. For example, in conversations with the doctor and people on the front lines you can get an understanding of how much they hate the war just through the short conversations that the characters have even with everything else going on around them. I’ve also noticed that Hemingway uses a lot of repetition to build up the character’s traits and personalities. Like in the book how much Hemingway emphasizes Henry’s drinking habits
