Reviews"'Brokeback Mountain' does some of the best things a story can do. It abolishes the old West clichés, excavates and honors a certain kind of elusive life, then nearly levels you with the emotional weight at its center."-- Gail Caldwell,The Boston Sunday Globe, "A stand-out story...'Brokeback Mountain' is the sad chronology of a love affair between two men who can't afford to call it that. They know what they're not -- not queer, not gay -- but have no idea what they are." -- Walter Kirn, New York, "'Brokeback Mountain' does some of the best things a story can do.

Brokeback Mountain, a great read
If you are looking to read a good story, but don't have alot of time, this is definitely the book for you. The love story of two men, who don't identify as being gay or even bisexual. Especially right now, it is good to have a story that explains feelings and what it can be like to hide your true feelings in fear of being beaten up. The movie, although, much longer than the book, follows the text very closely and the roles by Heath Ledger and Jake Gylllenhaal are phenomenal.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
