stephee 's review for:

The Great Santini by Pat Conroy
3.0

I read this because a colleague gave it to me.
This book is a little dated now and I thought it went on a bit too long. But the vocabulary is amazing. And luscious (if that can be possible!). The parents are horrible, I couldn't find anything likable about them at all. However, the main characters are the two siblings who gave me hope for the family. I especially loved the character of Mary Anne - I would have been her friend!
