Brokeback Mountian Story

This story was very interesting for me since I have not seen the movie yet. It allowed me to simply read the story without the confusion of trying to compare it to the film. I do not usually read this type of story on my own, so it was enjoyable to read something that is out of my comfort range. I felt that the story was a little lacking in details, but still very graphic in spots. The author was not shy about being very descriptive of the love scenes between the two men in the story. But the story jumped ahead in their lives a great deal. It is kind of like skipping to the important parts of their lives where their love tryst is involved. Although this is used alot in story writing to avoid making a story too long or tedious, it does not ususally seem to be to this extent. We skip from thier time together on the mountian, to four years later when they reunite, and various times throughout their lives from then on. Their is very little information about what happens to them between thier times together. I also felt that the story tended to show us Ennis's side of it more then Jack's, which kind of made me feel as if he was a more important character. I did really enjoy the story though, and am now looking forward to completeing the movie.
