<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> This new paperback edition is the moving drama of a family torn apart by a headstrong father-- Bull Meecham, a Marine fighter pilot-- who demands loyalty, courage and obedience from his wife and children. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p><b>The piercing, iconic semi-autobiographical novel of a domineering father and ambitious son, from the #1 <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>The Prince of Tides</i></b> <p/> Step into the powerhouse life of Bull Meecham. He's all Marine--fighter pilot, king of the clouds, and absolute ruler of his family. Lillian is his wife--beautiful, southern-bred, with a core of velvet steel. Without her cool head, her kids would be in real trouble. Ben is the oldest, a born athlete whose best never satisfies the big man. Ben's got to stand up, even fight back, against a father who doesn't give in--not to his men, not to his wife, and certainly not to his son. Bull Meecham is undoubtedly Pat Conroy's most explosive character--a man you should hate, but a man you will love. <p/> <b>Praise for <i>The Great Santini</i></b><br> <b><i> </i></b><br> "Stinging authenticity . . . a book that won't quit."<b>--<i>The Atlanta Journal</i></b><br> <b><i> </i></b><br> "[Pat] Conroy has captured a different slice of America in this funny, dramatic novel."<b>--<i>Richmond News-Leader</i></b><br> <i> </i><br> "Conroy takes aim at our darkest emotions, lets the arrow fly and hits the bull's-eye almost every time."<b>--<i>Milwaukee Journal Sentinel</i></b><br> <b><i> </i></b><br> "Robust and vivid . . . full of feeling."--<i>Newsday</i><br> <i> </i><br> "God preserve Pat Conroy."<b>--<i>The Boston Globe</i></b> <p/></p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "Reading Pat Conroy is like watching Michelangelo paint the Sistine Chapel."<b>--<i>Houston Chronicle</i></b> <p/>"Robust and vivid . . . full of feeling."<b>--<i>Newsday</i></b> <p/>"Tender, raucous, often hilarious."<b>--<i>Booklist</i></b> <p/>"A fine, funny, brawling book."<b>--</b><i><b>The National Observer</b> <p/></i>"Stinging authenticity . . . a book that won't quit."<b>--</b><i><b>The Atlanta Journal</b> <p/></i>"[Pat] Conroy has captured a different slice of America in this funny, dramatic novel."<b>--</b><i><b>Richmond News-Leader</b> <p/></i>"Conroy takes aim at our darkest emotions, lets the arrow fly and hits the bull's-eye almost every time."<b>--<i>Milwaukee Journal Sentinel</i></b> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <b>Pat Conroy</b> (1945-2016) was the author of <i>The Boo, The Water Is Wide, The Great Santini, The Lords of Discipline, The Prince of Tides, Beach Music, The Pat Conroy Cookbook: Recipes of My Life, My Losing Season, South of Broad, My Reading Life, </i>and<i> The Death of Santini</i>.
