Death of Santini: The Story of a Father and His Son | Pat Conroy

I‘m so happy to be reading this book by Pat Conroy, one of my favorite authors. He really was not afraid to put things in his book that were in his mind - even if they would arouse a major reaction.

Death of Santini: The Story of a Father and His Son | Pat Conroy

I was so excited to receive this book as a donation for my #LittleFreeLibrary. It was one of the books highest on my wishlist because I was and still am a big fan of Pat Conroy‘s works. Most of his writing, including his novels, was based on his life experiences. This book highlights the author‘s rocky relationship with his dad over the years. As always, Conroy‘s writing is a pleasure to read.

so-so

I love Pat Conroy's novels, but this memoir was uneven, rambling and repetitive. (For such a gifted writer, why is "pretty" the only adjective he seems to know how to use to describe the women in his life?) This book does provide insight into the Conroy family dynamic in a way that offers explanations behind Conroy's novels, however. 2.5-3 stars
