1.0 out of 5 stars A Waste of Time, Jan 13 2003
By Dean E. Robertson (Wooster, OH USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Corps #5 Line Of Fire (Paperback)
I picked up these books hoping to gain some insight into the actions of the Marine Corps in the Pacific during World War II. What I found instead was a sort of soap opera that rambles on for hundreds of pages without getting around to much actual fighting. For example, The Marines don't even get to Guadalcanal (their first major offensive) until the end of book III, some 1200 pages into the story. Those 1200 intervening pages are mostly conversations (ad nauseam) between stateside Marine Corps officers as they sit around headquarters, or go out on the town chasing skirts.

The small portion of the books that is devoted to actual battles is done in such a cursory fashion that you're left with the impression that the author either finds this aspect of the Marines' mission distasteful, or doesn't understand it well enough to write about it. Mr. Griffin could have deleted about 80% of his material, and would have ended up with better books, albeit still not good ones.

If you're the sort of person who likes to watch daytime soap operas, then you may enjoy these books. If, on the other hand, you're interested in military history, the banality of these books will leave you screaming in frustration.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very excellent, interest keeping book, April 13 2000
This review is from: Corps #5 Line Of Fire (Paperback)
I'm current reading Line Of Fire and I'm almost done with it and I think its really great I've never had a military book go into such detail, well I take that back this one and one other book I've read has gone in as much detail as this. I really love the way W.E.B. Griffin writes he's really good and I'm gonna read more of his books. I hope those who like stuff on the military (esp., the Corps like myself), will look into the books by W.E.B. Griffon, cause he writes really good.

3.0 out of 5 stars A lot of insight but too repetitive., Mar 28 1999
By Daniel Braunschvig "Danny" (Jerusalem Israel) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Corps #5 Line Of Fire (Paperback)
I have read the first five books of "The Corps". The first one set the scene and was interesting, witty and gripping. Alas in the next four, Griffin seemed unable to perceive that his readers would remember what they read and as one goes on he paraphrases his previous books. More should be invested in describing the scenes and in the analysis of the different situations at hand.
