What is the author's style in All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque?

Remarque wanted his readers to experience firsthand the things he did, and so he told All Quiet on the Western Front through the eyes of Paul Baumer, a nineteen year-old soldier. Paul, who is both the narrator and main character, recounts the horrors of trench warfare and battle, of disease, and the horrible sadness of losing friends. The use of the first person allows a more personal relation to the reader than third-person narration does, and as a result, the reader is more easily able to sympathize, fear, and worry along with Paul.
