The pacific is much more graphic and does a better job of portraying war than BOB, but the story was much weaker. I hate love stories so I didn't have much time for it. I did still enjoy it. I'd love to see a story from the German perspective. Maybe a soldier who's captured half way through the series that would be kind of cool.
You should read Sledge's memoir, I just finished it a few days ago and it was really good. (maybe best book I've ever read)
