review 1: I loved this book. So sad in places, making me well up with tears.Dan moves to Tampa and becomes an AIDS buddy to Adam, a gay man who has aids. The 2 become firm friends and what follows in the book is how Dan and Adam's boyfriend come to terms with Adam's death.Dan becomes an author and writes a fictionalised story of their lives.I am fast becoming a fan of Rick R Reed and will Definately read more of his work.
review 2: I enjoyed many things about this book, including the fluid and atmospheric language, the fact that it was bittersweet without becoming maudlin, and the interesting characters. I also liked the little bits now and then that subtly remind the reader that the story is set over 20 years ago. The way the main story was framed by prologue and epilog... moreue also worked well. But I think my favorite thing about the book was that it felt real. The situations and emotions were complicated and messy, just like in real life. There were no cardboard heroes or villians, no easy answers or unrealistically happy endings.My only complaint--and it's a minor one--was that I didn't feel that Sullivan's character was as well fleshed as the others. I felt like I knew Dan, March, and Adam very well, but Sullivan remained a bit more of a cipher. But that didn't detract from my enjoyment of the book as a whole, and I highyl recommend it. less
