So sad.
One important use of this uncomfortable and heartbreaking book is to reminds us of how callous and unconscionable Reagan's/his administration's reaction to the burgeoning AIDS crisis was.
That said, this book is a difficult read and hard to judge purely on literary/enjoyment grounds. It's a bit maudlin in spots, but what would you expect.
Sometimes I daydream about what Paul Monette's blog would be like. ...more

This book was amazing.
Before I finished it I told a friend it was depressing. But I've just finished it now, 2 days after World AIDS Day 2007, I find it sad but also so very inspiring. It shows a love so deep in a time of utter crisis and chaos. Just beautiful.
I will never forget the book or Paul & Rog. ...more

I never read someone who had the power to literally crush my heart with words.And believe me I am not trying to be smart or clever, I know I'm not. Paul is just impossible to describe. If you never read anything else in your life,this is it.

Brutal, beautiful, necessary.
