review 1: This truly was a work of art. The writing was so mesmerizing that I could feel the emotions practically pouring out of pages. I also believe that this work needs to especially be read by people who normally don’t read about homosexuality because it captures the kind of passion that society deems unworthy of normalcy from these kinds of relationships, but more importantly it illustrates the kinds of superficial bigotry than many people still have in our society.This was just so so beautiful, although a little too long and slow in places, but definitely worth the read because I felt like I had become a better person after reading it.
review 2: I enjoyed this book very much. I thought it was a bit slow at the beginning, but really picked up when Frank started v... moreisiting Gerald's apartment on a regular basis. The author did a fantastic job of evoking the feelings of a seventeen year old youth. I didn't think I would be so taken with the sexual and emotional relationship between a 47 year old man and a 17 year old boy. The author actually made it quite believable. In general the whole story was quite lovely. A couple of the chapters near the end of the story were pretty long and I think could have been shortened without adversely affecting the story. But that is my only complaint...that at times the author got a bit bogged down with all the philosophical stuff that Frank was learning and thinking about. This story made me cry in several places. This doesn't happen to me too often. I recommend this book and look forward to reading about what happens to Frank and I hope to read about Gerard too. less
