Todd Holtet![]() Amazing as always. Those Yankee and left coaster reviewers don't know a great Southern novel. That said, I continue my love of your works. Please get Beach Music made into a movie and don't make us wait 14 years for another masterpiece. ![]() ![]() Michael Sardina | ![]() Beach Music is the best novel ever written. Please please make it into a movie. I will be reading South of Broad a few pages a day just to savor my enjoyment. Pat Conroy is the greatest author of all time. I thank him for my pleasure. ![]() ![]() Lizzy Hardel | ![]() I picked up my first Pat Conroy book when I was in high school, around 1984, it was The Lords of Discipline. Beach Music is my all time favourite book period, and I read tons of books! Pat Conroy is the finest American Storyteller of this modern time! I just saw SOUTH OF BROAD today and did a happy dance in Borders. Can't wait to open it and begin reading! His words are lyrical, his books are brain candy. ![]() ![]() Linda Underwood | ![]() South of Broad came into my home on Wednesday and was devoured by noon on Thursday. Southern Boys and their mamas, Military brats, mother of two sons. How does Pat know my life so intimately and restore a sense of sanity to it? I've read every word published since the first one -- each, pefect, evocative word in the most descriptive prose published. No one brings the Low Country to life like Pat Conroy. While not a native, I graduated high school in Charleston in 1966 and sent my son to USC. If God is good, our paths will cross someday. I dream of it -- Love, and God bless, Linda Underwood ![]() ![]() Moureen Coulter | ![]() I just bought South of Broad and am slowly savoring each sentence. Your books are worth waiting for. I give them to my friends. I began with Prince of Tides and have worked my way backward and forward over the years. My Losing Season is the only book I know that celebrates the importance of failure. Thank you for persevering! ![]() ![]() Teri Box Hinson | ![]() Hello my friend. I can't wait to start the new book. I'm hoping that Dana and I will get to come to a signing near us. I would love to see you. I have a facebook site, so I would love it if you would write me back.. understand that you are very busy right now. Hope to see you soon.. love you, Teri ![]() ![]() Michael Shetzer | ![]() 1st year of high school in '67 sent me to Beaufort where dad, a USMC officer, would eventually retire and be buried. In the Lowcountry I did the typical things Southern kids of the 60’s did & something few would ever experience. At 15 or 16 my English teacher at Beaufort High,Pat Conroy, took our class over the Whale Branch Bridge to Charleston to attend a play at Dock Street Theater as well as tour the living museum of Lady Charleston. Pat was my Gene Norris. ![]() ![]() Mary Kulpon | I actually ration your books as I read them. It's sick. Your writing paints pictures in the mind of the reader in a way that other writers can only dream of doing. You are a master of your craft. Good health and inspiration to you always as you have inspired so many people. ![]() ![]() Brian Laslie | ![]() No one remembers what the speaker at their college graduation says. I remember every word of mine. Thanks for speaking Pat! My mother is coming to see you in Atlanta next week and pick up my copy of South of Broad. I will give up all pursuits of grad school until I have finished the book. ![]() ![]() Jack Horn, Citadel '67 | ![]() Only one thing has kept me from devouring this book- the return of my stepson from Afghanistan. I am a Citadel classmate of Pat and a fellow English major so I am able to cherish and chuckle at the great and not-so-great moments with Pat at "El Cid." God bless you, Pat. Jack Horn, "Co. G," Citadel Class of 1967, US Army Retired. ![]() ![]()
