Book Description

The Lords of Discipline: This powerful and breathtaking novel is the story of four cadets who have become bloodbrothers. Together they will encounter the hell of hazing and the rabid, raunchy, and dangerously secretive atmosphere of an arrogant and proud military institute. They will experience the violence. The passion. The rage. The friendship. The loyalty. The betrayal. Together, they will brace themselves for the brutal transition to manhood... and one will not survive. With all the dramatic brilliance he brought to The Great Santini, Pat Conroy sweeps you into the turbulent world of these four friends - and draws you deep into the heart of his rebellious hero, Will McLean, an outsider forging his personal code of honor, who falls in love with a whimsical beauty... and who undergoes a transition more remarkable then he ever imagined possible.

"Reading Pat Conroy is like watching Michelangelo paint the Sistine Chapel." (Houston Chronicle)"The Lords of Discipline is, simply, an American classic." (Larry King)

    Product Description / Editorial Review

    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.” — Source: Amazon

    The Lords of Discipline: A Novel review by Ralph Holden, 2010-08-19

    The Lords of Discipline

    The book came promptly, but it was so old that the pages
    were turning yellow. I didn't like that, but it seemed
    the product was new.

    The Lords of Discipline: A Novel review by Nancy Canter, 2010-08-19

    Like a Good Steak

    You know how when you eat a good steak (or any other delectable meal) that you want to savor each bite due to it's wonderful flavors? How you slowly chew each bite after you've gently placed your fork on the table, savoring every scrumptious morsel? How you JUST don't want the meal to end due to the fact that it's THAT good? That's how this book was for me. Pat Conroy's sentences, descriptions, story lines, and character development were an avid reader's best friend. I did NOT want this book to end. If you like good books (and who doesn't), you'll love this. If I had to be critical of something, it's that it *might* have been a bit anti-climactic in parts, but that's a reach.

    HIGHLY recommended.

    Biography

    Pat Conroy's novels are populated with domineering fathers, Southern belles of steel, and inexorable tragedy; all are elements the author is familiar with from his own life, and he has drawn on them to create unforgettable books. He is sometimes accused of florid prose, but he never fails to draw attention -- and readers -- with his passionate stories.

    From the Publisher

    This powerful and breathtaking novel is the story of four cadets who have become bloodbrothers. Together they will encounter the hell of hazing and the rabid, raunchy and dangerously secretive atmosphere of an arrogant and proud military institute. They will experience the violence. The passion. The rage. The friendship. The loyalty. The betrayal. Together, they will brace themselves for the brutal transition to manhood... and one will not survive.

    With all the dramatic brilliance he brought to The Great Santini, Pat Conroy sweeps you into the turbulent world of these four friends - and draws you deep into the heart of his rebellious hero, Will McLean, an outsider forging his personal code of honor, who falls in love with a whimsical beauty... and who undergoes a transition more remarkable then he ever imagined possible.

    Synopsis

    Years before it became a center of controversy for its traditional exclusion of women, South Carolina's venerable military academy The Citadel inspired novelist Pat Conroy (who is one of its graduates) to craft a powerful and vivid story he called "The Lords of Discipline.

    The Lords of Discipline review by GailCooke, 2010-04-20

    Excellent

    Excellent book whose characters will stay with you long after you put the book down. Conroy's style may be a bit fluffy in some portions of the book, but his coming of age themes will certainly hit home with most readers. One of the dominant themes of the book, and my favorite, was the power of true friendship and the benefits that flow from it, but the crushing effect of friendship lost or betrayed. Just read it.
