    Is the Great Santini a good book?

    • The Great Santini is perhaps Pat Conroy’s second most famous novel after Prince of Tides. This is a well written but disturbing book due to the mental and physical cruelty inflicted by the Great Santini. It is also nuanced in a genuine way with occasional love mixed with the hate. Not so different in that regard from millions of American families.
