Title: Not Prince of Tides
Review: While I consider The Prince of Tides to be the most magnificent, moving, involving book ever written, it has taken me over 2 years to finish Beach Music. The characters are remarkably one-dimensional, borderline comic (just look at all the male characters and see how easily you can describe each in ten words or less). Instead of a novel, the endless monologues and reflections on everything from the Holocaust to Vietnam read more like history, and forced down the reader's throat with only tangential relevance to the plots. The witless putdowns between the many characters (how many hundreds are there, by the way?) were sophomoric. And the endless references to how beautiful and handsome everyone was.. it was just too much. The survivors of wars and horror are merely caricatures that speak in 10-page paragraphs, truly boring the reader with way too much detail. What a disappointment.
