Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
In this powerful, mesmerizing, and highly acclaimed bestseller, Pat Conroy sweeps us into the turbulent world of four young men–friends, cadets, and blood brothers–and their days of hazing, heartbreak, pride, betrayal, and, ultimately, humanity.

We go deeply into the heart of the novel’s hero, Will McLean, a rebellious outsider with his own personal code of honor, who is battling into manhood the hard way. Immersed in a poignant love affair with a haunting beauty, Will must boldly confront the terrifying injustice of a corrupt institution as he struggles to expose a mysterious group known as “The Ten.”

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Superb!
There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said. This is a masterpiece--a painfully funny, heartbreaking, stunning masterpiece. Period.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing
When my mom very first started to get me interested in southern family sagas Pat Conroy was her very first recommendation,Lords of Discipline was the very first book by Conroy i read, and I couldn't put it down. In the weekend i read it i feel like i learned more about the author and the city of Charleston than i ever have with any other book. it's an amazing look into military life and the complexities that occur within ones self and people that you think you know.I would recommend Lords of Discipline to anyone!



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - little slow but great read towards the end
like i said a little slow in the beggining and i though i wasn't going to like it. don't give up though...the story gets intense without too much "action" type stuff and it ended becoming one good read.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Excellent Writing
I received this book as a gift and was reluctant to read it as the subject matter was not of interest. I started to read it just to see what it might be like and was captured by the outstanding writing. It was just a joy to read and the characters will stay with me forever.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Lords of Discipline
About half way thru this book and had to set it aside. I'll return to it later as it is a little too intense and the language is shocking.

I thought his books Beach Music and The Prince of Tides were much better. I could not put Beach Music down.
