The Lords of Discipline (Abridged) Audiobook

" An intense portrait of the brotherly love and affection young men have for each other and the society that forces them to shove it into painful contortions. Hard to read at times but full of deep feeling that sticks with you. "

" There is a reason Pat Conroy is my favorite fiction writer! "

" This is my definition of a good summer read. It's not particularly well written, it's super melodramatic, and a lot of things don't make any sense - but it really distinguishes itself through its content and its unexpected hilarity. Also, friends. "

" Second time I've read this book and it's still as wonderful as I remember "

" I loved it. I thought it a great portrayal of life as an army brat. Love the film too with my fave actor, Robert Duvall. "

" It's pretty hard for Pat Conroy to write a bad book, but this one has always been my favorite "

" Once you start a Pat Conroy book, it is hard to put it down. South Carolina and a military college during the mid 60's...what a story, he can tell it like no one else! "

" Everything Conroy writes is worth reading. "

" It took a little while to get going, but after about 60% I couldnt put the book down. Very well written. "

" Frightening! Frightening and beautifully written. "

" I happen to love Pat Conroy so I loved this book also but the detailed descriptions of the cruelty and the manipulations of these young people was appalling to my sense of justice. Very well written, very exciting and kept me on the edge of my seat. Loved it. "
