Title: I'd give this a 0 if it were offered.
Review: I started with the book, gave it up after Jack's return home to see his dying mother.With all the whining about their broken childhood, there was nothing believable about this gathering of siblings. Beach Music was selected for our Book Group this year, so I thought I'd try to get through the audio tapes. Now I'm trying to remember what I liked about The Prince of Tides. Was I duped by some masterful storytelling? I'm so disappointed with Beach Music, that I can't bear the thought of trying The Lords of Discipline. Enough of overwrought plot, flowery prose, sacrastic and soul-less characterizations. Turn up the Muzak! It will be more stimulating than finishing Beach Music.
