In 1998, the Modern Library ranked The Good Soldier 30th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. Set just before World War I, the novel is told using a series of flashbacks in non-chronological order, through a rather unreliable narrator; for as it turns out, the story is not what we are led to believe at the beginning. The novel’s original title was “The Saddest Story”, from the novels opening lines “This is the saddest story I have ever heard”; however, with the onset of World War I, the publishers asked Ford for a new title, to which he sarcastically suggested “The Good Soldier”, and so it was named.

An important novel--no, really
By C. Radda
So many books and movies have the adjective "important" attached to them that the word has lost its significance. But if you'd like to use it anyway, here's a novel on which you can. And for those of us who consider ourselves writers, "The Good Soldier" is doubly important: first it displays the skills of a genuine master of the language, and second it reinforces our awareness of just how far the rest of us hacks still have to go. The plot? It's difficult to discuss without giving too much away; besides, it's the way the story is told that we remember afterwards--the astonishment as the main character, John Dowell comes to realize that everything in his marriage has been a lie, that his relationship with his wife did not deteriorate--it, in fact, never existed. This is no simple tale of adultery and deceit--those words hardly do it justice.
So many famous writers have extolled "The Good Soldier" that any one reader's review seems superfluous. Including mine.... Read the book.

When is it not a classic?
By Melvyn Elphee
There are few things in life to equal the great classics of literature and I am spending my retirement re-reading those I have encountered only once and looking at new possibilities. The reputation of Ford Maddox Ford is not quite of classic status yet he has always had strong advocates and these seem to have increased in number and intensity over the years, so I thought I should give this a go. At the start I felt very much "Hats off - a genius": interesting style, quirky narrative point of view, themes of great potential, engagingly "modern" structure, intriguing plot, living characters - surely a classic. But as I read on I felt I was increasingly engaged in a limited domestic drama with little interest beyond itself - rather as if Macbeth were just about an odd couple who go about some nasty murders or King Lear about a dysfunctional family with a troublesome aged parent. By the end I did not see the point of engaging with these essentially trivial lives in such detail, the "unreliable narrator" stance was a cheat (since it was not in ironic counterpoint with anything - in contrast to The Great Gatsby which it reminded me of at the start)and the random structure fell apart. We are left with a superb style and I have generally felt that the how of writing is more important than the what (as in, arguably, Jane Austen) but in this case I felt that some things are barely worth saying however well said. At the same time, like all classics, the book has "got into me" and is unlikely to go away. I may well have quite a different view of it as the years go by - another characteristic of the true classic!

Well, perhaps, the not-so-good soldier
By Murph01
In the past, I have sometimes read British mystery series that I give up on because I, as I was reading along, would realize that I didn't actually care about any of the characters. As I read this novel and discovered the cast of characters, I would think, but with decreasing hopefulness, "Ah, this is the character about whom I will care." But it was not so, in the end.
From a literary perspective, this is an interesting novel: a story narrated in a rambling, back-and-forth manner by a confused, confusing speaker. In fact, Ford is explicit in this: the narrator says, towards the beginning, that he is imagining that he is sitting with a silent listener and talking out the events of the story in the order that they occur to him, without the support of the traditional beginning, middle, and end, and with, again according to the narrator, long months where he stopped writing entirely. Moreover, it is soon clear that his interpretation of events is often so naive as to be unbelievable.
In the end, the novel is more interesting than satisfying. I thought about the book a lot as I read it (which is a marker of success), but I ended up not caring that much for it (which is not a marker of success).
