5,0 su 5 stelle One of the most beautiful, heart wrenching
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 1 agosto 2014

One of the most beautiful, heart wrenching, uplifting, crushing, and all round emotional books I've ever read. It's 40 years old now, but I'd still rate it as one of the most important books I've ever come across, with so much to teach us today whether LGBTQ or not. Absolutely everyone to read it, and it's no wonder there's a global running movement named after it.

5,0 su 5 stelle An Absolutely Beautiful Love Story

I first read this in the mid-1980s when trying to find my way as a lesbian in her early thirties. I have never forgotten this novel. I actually found this at a paperback-trade rack in the local supermarket--you put up a book you didn't mind sharing with others and then took one or two home to read. I was absolutely blown away by this book as this was the first gay or lesbian love story...that presented love and even marriage as something worthwhile and of which GLBT people are equally deserving as straight people. There were parts that just blew me away--and the ending, well, I could see this happening, unfortunately with all the hate in the world. I have to say I shed a lot of tears when reading THE FRONT RUNNER.

I saw Harlan Brown evolve from an uptight, ex-Marine Jock who hated women, to a man who could at last appreciate Betsy, who carried Billy's child for them. He actually grew and evolved...just like many of us have had to. You see him warm and in a way blossom with the love Billy and he have for one another, as well as the support of the founder of the college and other straight allies. And if people think that only gay men don't like women...well, it goes the other way as well. There are lesbians who hate men (in many cases for valid reasons). Remember, he got treated pretty rottenly by his ex-wife, who even turned his sons against him. And in that era, there was (and I suspect there still is) in some quarters,hyper-macho men who really do not like anything remotely feminine. I've known a few but never met one, though, who truly HATED women.

I have discussed the book with gay friends and they seem to think that Patricia Nell Warren understands gay men quite well. As for the datedness of the book, it was written in the late 70s and takes place just a few years earlier, so of course it feels "dated". I lived through that time and thought she did a great job of capturing gay life. I remember the big clubs and dance bars and well, the Continental Baths were legendary. This was not all of gay culture in the 70s but it was a lot of it. AIDS has changed so much...life is different now. My life is different...came out and married in Canada. When I reread the wedding scene, it reminded me of my own wedding, but of course in the changed world of 2007. I suggest this book as a great love story and a peek into what those heady years following Stonewall were like--so much hope, so much struggle.

All in all, I recommend this book.

Hard to believe that I first read this excellent book in 1976. It changed my perception of many things. Got to admit that I really love this book, just ordered all of the other books by Patricia Nell Warren. Highly recommend this book.
