Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent by Anthony Rapp
5.0
When I was in chorus in middle school, I would go into class everyday forcing myself to have a great time, and get a lot out of the class. When people asked me what my favorite class is, I would say chorus without hesitation. Well, I actually hated middle school chorus looking back on it, but aside from that, that's how I went into reading this book. I picked it up knowing that I would love it. Having this internal push to like this certainly gives me a bias and clouds my opinion, so take that as you will... And here we go:
I would give this a million stars if I could. Anthony Rapp wrote this book with no inhibitions at all; he put himself out there, and that takes some serious skill. I will re-read this book a hundred times over, because I love him so much. I pretty much think that if you like him, you'll force yourself to like it, if it isn't your type of book, but you probably won't have to, because it's good. He delves in deep into his life, and I definitely feel like I know him that much better. I gave my friend this for her birthday, and upon seeing it, she gave quite the excited, embarrassing little squeal. It has that effect on people before it's even read.
Oh, in case you can't tell: I love RENT.
