paulataua 's review for:
The Thin Red Line
by James Jones
A compelling read on war and what it is like to be right in the middle of it. There were moments when it gave a feel of the terror , boredom, and dehumanization of it all . Worth reading even if I really didn’t really like the writing style, and felt it dragged in parts. Maybe it was because I was aware of similar incidents in the book and the Terrence Mallick movie version when the description in the novel required pages while the same emotion was put over in just one short scene. That is not to use words like better and worse. There were other times when the written word really captured the emotions in a way that the movie didn’t. Worth the time!
