I love Pat Conroy's previous books, but this one was disappointing. Unfortunately, the characters were not believable, the story had too many plot lines [SPOILER ALERT]-- a huge hurricane, a killer on the loose, a trek to San Francisco to rescue an AIDS stricken friend being held hostage, a pedophile priest -- and it was mainly a depressing, sad read. I liked the descriptions of Charleston and the South, loving both myself, but that was about all I enjoyed.
