A review by caseyhitchcock81
The Great Santini by Pat Conroy

3.0

Parts, especially conversations between family members, struck me as especially hollow. Santini himself was hugely problematic. Of course, this is the point, but I still think readers are supposed to like him just a little, and I really didn't. One or two parts made me laugh aloud, but reading this was something of a chore. All this being said, I was surprised at how much the ending upset me.
