Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
For the listener who can persevere beyond the barrage of crude language used by most of the male characters in author Conroy's humane look at life inside a Southern military academy, the producer offers a stunning audio version of a popular work of modern American fiction (published first in 1980). The star of this production is narrator Tom Stechschulte, who provides an amazing array of nuanced voices, even making each of the several native Charleston characters distinctive by his intonation. By turns, Conroy holds up military ideals and savages the often brutal treatment of military school recruits. At once starkly realistic and lyrical, Conroy's diffuse prose ultimately lulls the listener into the rhythms of its episodic tide of plot devices. The sound quality of this unabridged audio book is supurb, as is the pacing and cover design. Highly recommended.?Mark Pumphrey, Polk Cty. P.L., Columbus, N.C.

From AudioFile
No matter what his narrative gifts, when it comes to overwrought writing, Pat Conroy need not bow to any contemporary novelist. His excesses, though, are a reader's opportunities, and Stechschulte rises to the occasion. Conroy gives Stechschulte plenty of room for dramatic flourish, for soaring soliloquy, for indulgent melodrama. But that's not the end of Stechschulte's bag of acting tricks. He creates an astonishing array of distinctive characterizations, from aristocratic Southern belles to poor New York City ethnics to crusty, unyielding military officers. Between Conroy and Stechschulte, we are treated to a charged, involving saga about a young man's coming of age as he confronts corruption and brutality at a Southern military school. M.O.
