I hate Prince of Tides. Worst book I have ever read
Despite popular opinion, I have found my worst book ever "Prince of Tides"
​
I am beyond disappointed in this book. I will first get the pros out of the way, well the pro, which is that when telling stories, like the things that happened in past, it does have a nice writing style and keeps you engaged with the story.
​
Now on to my problems with the book:
​
>!\- The story is stupid, it really doesn't start anywhere or go anywhere, there isn't a way to help Savannah really, Tom tells Susan their childhood and Savannah suddenly is like oh I feel better now. !<
​
>!\- So let me get this right, Tom wants his wife back, so he begs her to reconsider her affair. Which goes on by him starting his own affair and continuing his marriage thinking of the other woman. Fantastic !<
​
>!\- 3 kids smuggle a dolphin across states... yeah!<
​
>!\- They buy a fucking tiger and leave it in a cage. OK!<
​
>!\- I feel really weird by Tom's description of his daughters. Weirdly sexual!<
​
>!\- Gosh the melodrama, the yapping!<
​
>!\- Nothing really gets resolved in this story, the mom is bad and really wants to keep the secrets of the family hidden, so tom goes ahead and tells the secrets and then they become buddies!<
​
>!\- You do not need to be a professional to see how unethical and horrible Susan was. Gosh every session pissed me off!<
​
>!\- Luke becomes Rambo!<
​
​
I kept reading because I thought maybe it'll get better later, I also was not a fan of Lonesome dove when I started but then became obsessed later so I kept reading, then when I knew for sure it wasnt going to improve I finished it just to be able to hate on it properly. I know some people rave about how good it is and I am sure they mean it but gosh I dont understand how.
