Title: I'm going to be ill
Review: Pat Conroy's Beach Music would be a lot shorter if he cut out all of the adjectives and ridiculous similes. With the exception of the descriptions of the Holocaust, I found the story and characters to be unbelievable, over the top, insipid, melodramatic. The book certainly provoked an emotional response - I kept wanting to throw it across the room. Conroy must make himself sick writing all that saccharine prose. BLECH!
