molacher 's review for:
The Great Santini
by Pat Conroy
This book read more like a collection of short stories. I felt that there were some chapters that ended abruptly and we're just forgotten (basketball scouts, Toomer, and the rape?!?). It seemed like there were a lot of inconsistencies with Bull. Maybe this is the point to get you to "love" him but Ben mentions horrible things about his father at the beginning but you don't actually see those characteristics to the last quarter of the book. There were several chapters that were so absorbing and exactly what I love about Conroy's writing, enough to give it more than one star.
