5.0 out of 5 stars Could not put it down, October 10, 2001

This review is from: Outcast (Paperback)

After reading some reviews of this book, I took a chance of reading Stuart Thorogood's book. I got hooked after the first couple of pages. This is the story of Mark and how he came out to his family and friends. The story line was gripping and moving at every page. It was an easy read, and one could finish it in one sitting. This book was so good, i already bought the sequal. I hope Thorogood continues with the story of Andrew and Mark in later books. Definiely pick this up.

If you enjoyed the movies "Beautiful Thing" and "Get Real", you will certainly enjoy this coming out story. It's humorous, witty, moving, everything a well-written story ought to be. Now why is it so short?

4.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book!, April 18, 2000

A beautiful book! I loved it! Ate it up! It's the best coming out story that i have ever read. In a succinct way, Thorogood manages to make his readers feel so many of the emotions that are common to all gay people: the fear of coming out, the hurt that comes from rejection, the joy of first love, and more.

I only hope that Gay Men's Press has the good sense to persuade Thorogood to write a sequel. I would love to see how Mark and Andrew end up.
