Book Review of The Great Santini

The Great Santini
The Great Santini
Author: Pat Conroy
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on + 20 more book reviews


Emotionally raw, but hard to stay with, the story of a soldier who has trouble coming home and being a father. Conroy does not spare the hard details, and there will be overlap with his other books. Perfectly manages though to convey how abused children can still feel love for the parent.
