"This book can be hard to find. It is really for Conroy junkies and if you've read Lords of Discipline you'll really appreciate it. This book was his first book and I reccommend reading the foreward to better understand it and him. "
— Matthew (4 out of 5 stars)
" This was just as good as the others. Funny, funny series. I am sad to be on the last book knowing this is the series last one. "
— Nadine, 12/3/2013" I really like this series, it seems like you could read about the crazy antics of this town forever. I feel like I know every character. A nice, quick read that will leave you wanting more "
— Marianne, 9/19/2013" Can't stand Melb or Ainsley. Actually I am not sure I like any of these characters... "
— Kelly, 9/4/2013" Read this on the recomendation of my BF who can be a bit twisted. This story is delightful. When I found out why all the people were screaming in the woods, I laughed out loud. So funny. "
— Vondraya, 8/23/2012" A great, if not spectacular, penultimate entry in Rene Gutteridge's Boo series. If you liked Boo and Boo Who, there's little chance you won't feel the same way about Boo Hiss. "
— Siobhan, 2/12/2012" this was the third book in the Boo series. Very lighthearted, enjoyable, easy read. "
— Kimberly, 2/25/2011" Glad I got to read this, the only one of Conroy's book I'd missed. Definitely juvenile, with touches of the writer he's to become... "
— Meg, 2/7/2011" Pat Conroy is my favorite southern author. This is his first book and it is actually pretty bad. Skip this one and go directly to Beach Music. "
— John, 1/14/2011" It really pains me to say that I didn't care for this book, but Pat Conroy (one of my all time favorite authors) says himself that he doesn't think it's very good. I am sure alums of The Citadel like it, but alas, I am not an alum. Can't wait to get my hands on Conroy's new book! "
— Sarah, 8/25/2009" Some say it's not his best, but I LOVED it! "
— Stacy, 7/16/2008" For hardcore fans of Conroy and "The Lords of Discipline" only. Episodic, by design, and lacking any narrative cohesiveness. "
— Randall, 3/9/2008" This one is hard to find. It was his first attempt at writing and as such is a little raw. I bought it to read the stories about The Citadel. Again, if you're familiar with that school you'll probably enjoy the book even though it isn't great literature. "
— Jason, 9/2/2007" Not bad for a first book. Not his best, but still a good read. Gives soom background to some his other works. "
