The Thin Red Line

Mordant and gritty, even funny at times, I can see why [b:The Thin Red Line 92417 The Thin Red Line James Jones https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1171247310s/92417.jpg 994495] is considered a classic. Having said that, [a:James Jones 3999 James Jones https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1227111357p2/3999.jpg]'s writing style doesn't particularly please me. Unless one of his books is selected by a book club I am active in, I doubt that I will be reading more of his work.

See my review on From here To Eternity. I thought that this would be a let down after that wonderful book but had no issues at all. Fine book indeed. Now to try and force my self to read the final book of the trio.
