A review by lumleyisaac
The Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy

5.0

This is my first book by Conroy and it was deeply moving. I laughed and cried throughout this story. The characters were fully fleshed and felt real, the prose and the poetry alike were beautiful, and the way Conroy portrayed the behavior of men and women felt intimate and exposing.

To write six hundred pages and still have each paragraph sing is a true accomplishment. It is also worth mentioning that this book has chapters that were much darker than I expected.
