The Color Inside of My World

Hell in the Pacific: Delving into the world of nonfiction ›

This review is vastly different from my last on Chris Colfer’s lovely children’s fairytale. This book is the memoir of Marine Jim McEnery and the hell he and his company went through in three campaigns in the WWII Pacific Theater. And it was a great read.

Nations are possessed with an insane ambition to perpetrate the memory of themselves by the amount of hammered stone they leave. What if equal pains were taken to smooth and polish their manners? One piece of good sense would be more memorable than a monument as high as the moon.

when I say “I wish they would turn this book into a movie” what I really mean is “I wish they would turn this book into a 17-hour-long spectacle that includes every single solitary detail and doesn’t deviate at all from the storyline and has perfect casting”
