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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Great Santini\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Stinging authenticity . . . a book that won't quit.\"\u003cstrong\u003e--\u003ci\u003eThe Atlanta Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \"[Pat] Conroy has captured a different slice of America in this funny, dramatic novel.\"\u003cstrong\u003e--\u003ci\u003eRichmond News-Leader\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e \"Conroy takes aim at our darkest emotions, lets the arrow fly and hits the bull's-eye almost every time.\"\u003cstrong\u003e--\u003ci\u003eMilwaukee Journal Sentinel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Robust and vivid . . . full of feeling.\"--\u003ci\u003eNewsday\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e \"God preserve Pat Conroy.\"\u003cstrong\u003e--\u003ci\u003eThe Boston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pat Conroy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dial Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/26\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.29\" H x 5.17\" L x 1.01\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780553381559\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50560004981040,"sku":"9780553381559","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9780553381559.jpg?v=1774847391","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/the-great-santini-pat-conroy-paperback","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
