A sad, heartbreaking story with vivid imagery. My poor little heart. The narrator was fantastic and his different tones of voice for Ennis and Jack made me fall for the characters even more. Now I just need to nurse my sadness.

This book is super short and straight to the point. No floweriness and fillers. I was shocked by how much it made me feel with just these few pages. The way it's delivered makes it so real.

After watching the film to see what all the hype was about, I felt there was a lack of connection between the characters. I've had this problem with other book-based films (the book provides more of a character's mind than what a movie can), so I thought to give the book a try. No such luck. I did n...

Brokeback Mountain is a long short story, almost a novella in length. Its a good length and its nice to see someone use it, because people don't use that length very often.The story is a mix of interesting strengths and weaknesses. The problems are that there are often some artificial sentences th...

This is a novella rather than a full length novel. You can read this in at most a couple of hours even if you read slowly. Still it is a memorable, even though I found it to bee a bit too short for the time it presents. The story lasts several years. And to make it clear, it is not an erotic novel...
