Not yet! It's on my reading list. But I feel the same, for whom the bell tolls is more well-crafted and emotionally much more mature

He obviously sympathized more with the rebels but there are also passages in there that depict the brutality and sort of aimless mob violence that manifested on that side as well

Decent book... His best book is the sun also rises though.

a farewell to arms is also better imo... Much more bleak outlook on war. But Celine's Journey to the End of the Night is tops for that genre to me...
