A review by jameshousworth
The Great Santini by Pat Conroy

3.0

Not the type of book I would normally read, but I was pleasantly surprised. I liked the characters, the relationships between them, and the insider insight on military family life that others have told me is quite accurate. That said, I wish the plot had been clearer and more well thought-out. I was constantly asking myself, “Where is this going? Why are they spending so much time talking about this?” Sometimes it would tie back into the story, sometimes it wouldn’t.

So overall 3.5 stars. Not bad, sportsfans.
