Reddit reviews The Pacific and Other Stories

I'm not going to pretend to be some incredible reader, but usually when I'm reading a book or some such, I find it pretty easy to find manipulative B.S. I had to read this for an English class not too long ago. It's a set of stories that to me, were just manipulative bullshit. By the end of that book I felt used and dirty. I think it's weird I never noticed that about these comics though. These comics really affected me.
