5.0 out of 5 stars I read this book on a 9 and a half hour flight to India!, 15 May 2005
By J. Pickering "Neale P" (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"A Home at the End of the World" has to be Michael Cunningham's finest book to date. In a sea of bland coming of age novels this book leaps miles ahead and is a must for anyone who enjoys reading alternative gay fiction. The core of this book is not, however, about homosexuality it takes a refreshing look at how people from differing backgroungs come together to forge a life together in a not so successful manner. All I can say is, read this book, it's fantastic!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, deep and endearing., 31 Jul 2001
This review is from: A Home at the End of the World (Paperback)
Cunningham's novel is both incredibly deep whilst being totally endearing to those who seek a different way in their approach to life, love and self-awareness. This is a piece of work that rivals those of Kerouac in exploring both the world without and within and finding one's place within them both.

4.0 out of 5 stars A novel of clarity, 27 May 2003
By A Customer
Michael Cunningham has a method of writing that makes the reader FEEL every experience that his characters are going through.
‘A home at the end of the world’ is a fine example of this.
Cunnigham takes you on the journey of two exceptionally, individual males who share the same thirst for understanding the world they live in & knowing who they are.
You watch as they struggle to develop themselves, in what seems like, a problematic society that their parents appear to have thrown them into.

Along the way their lives somehow entwine with that of an eccentric female whom teaches them that love has no boundaries and that rules only exist if you want them too.
‘A home at the end of the world’ is an eye opener for those of us that insist on complicating our lives by focussing on the how’s, when’s & why’s that we forget to live in the now…
