Also the problem I mentioned when I <a href=\"http:\/\/www.icemark.com\/blog\/archives\/2005\/12\/12\/currently-reading\/\" target=\"_blank\">first started reading<\/a> the book, prevailed throughout. The character Tom Wingo knows too much about food and accesories , blenders , <a style=\"text-decoration: none\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ninjablenderrecipes.net\"><font color=\"#555555\">ninja blender recipes <\/font><\/a>, etc. whenever it gets talked about it seems out of character. This I feel is a generic problem for Conroy who obviously loves food and seems to give that trait to all his lead characters. I&#8217;d now like to watch the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0102713\/\" target=\"_blank\">film<\/a> to see how well they did adapting the material.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icemark.com\/blog\/wp-images\/technorati_small.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"15\" alt=\"Technorati\"\/><\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" alt=\"The Prince of Tides\" title=\"The Prince of Tides\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/The%20Prince%20of%20Tides\" rel=\"tag\" >The Prince of Tides<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" alt=\"Pat Conroy\" title=\"Pat Conroy\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Pat%20Conroy\" rel=\"tag\" >Pat Conroy<\/a><br\/><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icemark.com\/blog\/wp-images\/wiki_small.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Wikipedia\"\/><\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" alt=\"Pat Conroy\" title=\"Pat Conroy\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pat%20Conroy\">Pat Conroy<\/a><h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.icemark.com\/blog\/archives\/2006\/12\/18\/sideways\/\" title=\"Sideways\">Sideways<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.icemark.com\/blog\/archives\/2006\/11\/20\/big-fish\/\" title=\"Big Fish\">Big Fish<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.icemark.com\/blog\/archives\/2006\/11\/12\/the-green-mile\/\" title=\"The Green Mile\">The Green Mile<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.icemark.com\/blog\/archives\/2005\/12\/12\/currently-reading\/\" title=\"Currently Reading&#8230;\">Currently Reading&#8230;<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.icemark.com\/blog\/archives\/2009\/11\/08\/dirty-harry-potter-harry-callahan-and-the-deathly-hallows\/\" title=\"Dirty Harry Potter \/ Harry Callahan and the Deathly Hallows.\">Dirty Harry Potter \/ Harry Callahan and the Deathly Hallows.<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just finished reading Pat Conroy&#8217;s, The Prince of Tides &#8211; I seem to have been reading this forever but the truth is that I didn&#8217;t get too much reading time on it.
