Title: So very overwrought!
Review: Mr. Conroy has never met an adjective he didn't like. I had seen and disliked the movie years ago, but came upon the book recently and thought I'd give it a try, knowing that Babs could easily have ruined it. Well, it was better than the movie, but not so great as the breathless reviews here suggest. The plot careens out of control (domestic abuse, insanity, class warfare, football, Jewish psychiatrist-temptress, neurotic violinist, twins, Vietnam, the atom bomb--oh Lord, it just never lets up for a second), the dialogue is hilariously unrealistic, and the author is one of those self-indulgent types who just loves every word that pours forth from his brain and is in dire need of a good editor. There are some good short stories buried here, and the bones of a decent book, but it boggles my mind that anyone would call this overwritten tome a life-changing experience!
