The best novel that I have read is The Lords of Discipline by Pat Conroy. Besides being an hilarious book, it provided an eye-opening revelation of what it means to be a student in a military school. The main character, Will, describes in graphic detail of his time in military school in Charleston, especially his plebe year at the school. I relate to the character because I had went to a high school where I experienced a lot of difficult times there. I loved the fact that Will still had a sense of humor despite going difficulties at the school. The part that really shocked me was the fact that the author used many expletives within the book. I've never read a book that used so many expletives within a school setting. His style of writing has inspired mine to say the very least. I made a mental note of the fact that whenever I'm writing about fiction, I will try to write that. I love the novel so much that I can read it over and over again and never get tired of it.
