GK re-read: week 1.
May. 10th, 2020 03:46 pmI've yet to figure out the exact shape of the 'book club' - so I'll be trying to work it out as we go. If anyone has suggestions feel free to leave a comment. For Week 1, I'll just be summarizing my thoughts and quoting some passages that I thought were interesting. I encourage you to jump on stuff that interested you or start your own discussions/summary in the comments.
( Generation Kill: Prologue – Chapter 3 )
Alright!!! That's it for the first few chapters. I went into a bit more detail than I expected - but there's just so much of note! In terms of Wright's writing I was reminded how much I enjoyed his writing style - particularly letting the prologue jump-start the action, only to rewind it a bit in chapter 1. And he's got a way of describing the Marines that makes them jump off the page. One can truly understand why David Simon and Ed Burns wanted to make this into a show.
Hopefully this is a good and interesting start to discussions about the book?
What do you think? Did I forget to mention something memorable? Anything that surprised or resonated? What quotes stood out to you? Please share your thoughts!
