Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss and the Musical Rent July 31, 2006

What a fantastically written book
An emotional read July 25, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I purchased the book thinking that it would be another memoir about being in a show. "Without You" is so much more than that. Rapp talks about RENT, but the book focuses mainly on his struggle with his mother's cancer--his need to have her accept him (and his homosexuality) before she passed away. A very emotional book, well-written and vivid.
A Great Book July 13, 2006

I think this is a great book. It's well-written and emotional. It's a fairly quick read and is better understood if you are familiar with the plot of Rent.
Fabulous! July 11, 2006

I purchased this book, along with "RENT" for my daughter's 8th grade graduation, as we are RENT addicts. We love it all. She has now read this book as her requirement for her Summer Reading list for High School - one of which needed to be a biography/autobiography. We were very taken by the story of Anthony Rapp, about his "coming out" to his beloved Mom, whom he later lost - and all that surrounds this compelling story about Love and Loss. There are important lessons here for everyone, and I felt my adolescent age daughter could appreciate these lessons and issues we all face at different times in our lives. I look forward to other works by Anthony Rapp and wish him, as well as other RENT cast members, who have contributed to our love and understanding of an important segment of our current society.

I'm a Renthead so I was so excited to read this book. I was a little disappointed at first because I found parts of it a little boring. But ultimately I got sucked into Anthony's story and really felt for the losses he had to endure.
Worth a read.
