Book Reviews of My Losing Season (Alex Awards (Awards))

Although all of Conroy's novels feel autobiographical, My Losing Season actually retraces the events leading up to a painful but rich year in the lives of a Citadel basketball team, and it's longterm effects on the psyches of the players. Pat Conroy is one of America's finest authors, and although I have no particular interest in basketball, I loved this book.

A little too self-pitying and self-aggrandizing. I'm supposed to feel sorry for someone who got to play college basketball because he didn't win enough games?

I really loved this book. Although I am not a sports fan at all, the life lessons here were inspiring. It is a courageously told story.

Good Conroy memoir of playing small-time college basketball.
