I read The Prince of Tides as part of a book club. Although I had seen the movie years ago, I didn't remember much of it.

The only way I can sum this up is: perfection. This is the perfect book. From start to finish, it is outstanding. The way the story alternates between modern day and the past is seamless—it's the best execution of this storytelling technique I've ever seen.

I’ll be recommending this book for the rest of my life.
