grammatical error advice

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

grammatical error advice

Post by Kanika Tandon »

Hi,

So I am reviewing this book and early on I encounter the following phrase.

This book is about what happened when Brain arrived at Stanford and the story behind achieving his goal; expectation and loss; achieving goals; life; and ironies it sometimes bring.

I feel that instead of colons, there should be commas. I need your input. Is Colon a punctuation error and be replaced by comma?
