Reviews"Powerful"  --UPI. "A  masterpiece than can compare with Steinbeck's  East Of Eden... Some books make you  laugh; some make you cry; some make you think.  The Prince Of Tidesis a rarity: It does  all three." --Detroit Free  Press. "A big sprawling saga of a  novel, the kind Steinbeck used to write, the kind  John Irving keeps writing, the kind you can hole  up with and spend some days with and put down  feeling that you've emerged from a terrible,  wonderful spell." --San Francisco  Chronicle. "A brilliant novel  that ultimately affirms life, hope and the belief  that one's future need not be contaminated by a  monstrous past." --Chicago  Tribune. "Compulsively readable"  --Glamour. "A  seductive narrative, told with bravado,  flourishes, portentous foreshadowing, sardonic humor and  eloquent turns of phrase...For sheer storytelling  finesse, Conroy will have few rivals." --  Publishers Weekly., "Powerful"- UPI .
