5 Stars - and a Standing ovation for this kid from the Chicago Suburbs who did just what he always wanted!
Book Review: Anthony rapp
Summary: 5 Stars
anthony rapps "Without You : A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent" was enjoyable. it was a really really really good book. anthony can write!!!! i loved how he spoke about Johnathan Larson (the creator of rent), also about how rent got started and his experience with working with mr. larson and the play itself in the new york theater workshop and at the nedelander theater. i suggest that you pick up this book because it is enjoyable to read.Book Review: Brutally honest is an understatement
Summary: 5 Stars
There were moments when I learned things I wish I hadn't about this amazing actor, who I personally find to be literally one of the most gorgeous men alive. He is literarily gorgeous as well, though, with his descriptive and impassioned narrative of life in the theatre, dealing with death, and wading through the perils of serial monogamy.
My fiance bought the book last Friday (sadly, for $25 at Borders--he should have come to Amazon) and we both read it, two-bookmark-style, within four days. It was the sort of can't-put-it-down read that made me call my husband-to-be angrily to say "did you take the book with you to work?--that's not fair!"
Thoughtful and provokative, Rapp's catharsis is refreshing and raw, and if nothing else, real.
Book Review: A Touching Story
Summary: 5 Stars
As a fan of Anthony's work, especially his role as Mark in RENT, I was looking forward to reading his memoir. I must say that I am very glad I bought the book, and very glad I got to meet the man behind it.
Anthony can add Author to his list of talents. He's a great actor, a wonderful singer, and his writing keeops you hooked from cover to cover. His narrative is honest, touching, heartbreaking and inspiring all at the same time. I cried as he shared how he felt after Jonathan died, and I could relate to his emotions about his mother.
This book is a must read for anyone who has had to deal with losing a loved one, and for anyone who is a fan of RENT. It's also good for those who are struggling with coming out. Anthony's honesty is refreshing, you can tell he's not hiding here and I feel like I know him a lot better now.
Book Review: Inspiring and Honest
Summary: 5 Stars
I knew of Anthony Rapp back in his days when one of my favorite movies was Adventures in Babysitting. I became reaquainted with him when I fell in love with the story of Rent. This book is truthful, real, and heartfelt. I would recommend this book to anyone that has an open mind and an open heart. My heart broke several times for Anthony and his struggles, but what I came to realize is that he is a strong, intelligent, brilliant man that can handle anything that comes his way. Congratulations Anthony to a job well done!!
