5.0 out of 5 stars The Purest Trash..., July 26, 1999

By 

Tom From NY "Tom From NY" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Perfect Freedom (Paperback)

...and I love every silly vulgar over-romantic page. Gordon Merrick was a schlock-meister of the highest order. All of his heroes are impossibly handsome, impossibly wealthy, and impossibly well-endowed. "Perfect Freedom" is one of the more outrageous books Merrick wrote, and a great trashy read. Be sure to read the sequel, entitled "The Great Urge Downward."

5.0 out of 5 stars St-Tropez'll never look the same the next time you visit it!, September 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Perfect Freedom (Paperback)

Gordon Merrick has created with his novel "Perfect Freedom" one of the best gay novels to date. It is a wonderfull story about the Cosling family i.c. Stuart, Helene and their son Robbie. Merrick describes their climb and struggle to fortune, their wealthy life-style during the 30's at St-Tropez and the Greek Islands and their downfall at the beginning of WWII. During the reading of the book, the Coslings will become a real family to the reader. You will laugh, cry, party, make love with them and finally participate in the downfall with such an intensity that when you have reached the last page your head is spinning from all the emotions you have endured. At end you will realise that, whatever happens, life will go on! St-Tropez will never look the same the next time you may visit it! Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Synopsis, January 9, 2006

By 

Earl R. Sutton "earlsutton" (Detroit, MI, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Perfect Freedom (Paperback)

"They were the fabulous coslings of St.Tropez: dapper American expatriate Stuart Cosling; his ravishing French wife, Helene; and their stunningly handsome son, Robbie. To his parents, Robbie was still a boy--until on a cruise of the Greek islands, he discovered the pleasures of manhood with a deckhand on his father's yacht."--© zebraz
