He served in the U.S. Army from 1939 to 1945, and was present at the attack on Pearl Harbor as well as the battle for Guadalcanal, where he was decorated with a Purple Heart and Bronze Star. I love this movie!!!! Jones’s experiences informed his epic novels. This version is a much better one. Bring your club to Amazon Book Clubs, start a new book club and invite your friends to join, or find a club that’s right for you for free. This is one of the most self-indulgent books I've ever read. The second edition came out after the movie was released and is 600 pages. This version is a much better one. Try again. The book's type was fairly small, and at six hundred pages, I wondered what all had been abridged. It is about the grace and the absurdity of the decisions that the characters make and and the consequences that result from them. Psychology and the relations between men and women are very much at the center of the book and the battle of the sexes from this vantage point is pretty quaint. I read this James Jones novel many years ago. Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2014. Even though it was written in the 50's, about the end of the 1940's, it is very relevant today. Jones' characters cover a wide cross-section of small town America. Something went wrong. I find this the best war book by far. It's nominally set in a small town in Southern Illinois, but if you've ever lived in any American small town, you'll recognize a lot of familiar elements. Dave, having planned to visit Parkman for only a week, impulsively decides to settle in Parkman to pursue Gwen romantically and attempt to write a novel with her help. In a word, no. He occasionally walks around town at night trying to peep into people's windows. Having thoroughly enjoyed "From Here to Eternity", I looked forward to this read. I do feel as if I know the people in the novel. December 31st 1979 Some came running has excellent characters in Dave and Frank Hirsch- in fact all the characters in the story are well drawn. To those who felt it was overpraised, overwritten, nihilistic in its philosophy, this second book is more — much more — of the same. Welcome back. Long out of print, I found some copies on half.com and ordered one up, only to find, upon its arrival in the mail, that I'd ordered the abridged version. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I read this James Jones novel many years ago. Unable to add item to List. I enjoyed it, despite the structural flaws. Please try again. From what I understand, James Jones' family edited, or had a professional edit, this book down from its original 1200+ pages down to what it is now, still over 1000 pages. Three girls who work at the town brassiere plant, Rosalie, Mildred, and Ginnie, also hang around the local bars and are sexually available to Dave and his group of friends. There's a problem loading this menu at the moment. There was a problem loading your book clubs. The third edition was revised by James Jones' daughter and, according to her, is the definitive edition that is closer to the novel her father wanted to write. Jones’s experiences informed his epic novels From Here to Eternity and The Thin Red Line. Ambitious but flawed novel published in 1957 but written about the after WWII period and ends at the Korean Conflict. It is the story of a war veteran with literary aspirations who returns in 1948 to his hometown of Parkman, Illinois,[2] after a failed writing career. Thirty-four years after the publication of her dystopian classic, The Handmaid's Tale, Atwood returns to continue the story of Offred. The result is the masterpiece Jones intended: a tale whose brutal honesty is as shocking now as on the day it was first published.
