Book Review of The Great Santini

The Great Santini
The Great Santini
Author: Pat Conroy
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Mass Market Paperback
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


Having read Beach Music, South of Broad, & My Losing Season, I was familiar w/Conroy's style. I love the humor & the raw human interaction, but grow weary at times with his use of esoteric language (as if he's trying to earn "extra credit" for inserting over-the-top vocabulary, sort of like Mary Ann in this book).
