The Normal Heart

So, I watched the HBO film version before I read this, but it is outstanding. I know Kramer essentially wrote it about himself, but it's very emotionally charged, and every character seemed to have their own fleshed-out personalities. I highly recommend this book.

This should be on every gay man’s book shelf. Absolutely a must read.

Required for class.

I'm giving it four stars instead of five because it's so dated, but I'm giving it that many because it's historical. I was there, and I remember all this stuff happening at the time. It's real and it belongs out and about as reference.

So incredible.Such a good depiction of something that still has not been talked about as much as it deserves.

As a young gay man, I was born after the AIDS scare of the 80s but his still brought tears to my eyes several times. Amazing play!

I ordered this book for my daughter. She talked my ear off about how much she loved it. Now, she wants the sequel.

Although now an "aged" piece, this work captures the panic, frustration, and almost futility that gay men felt as they wrestled to get anyone to give consideration to what was going on in their lives and the health issues they faced with the then unknown dread disease that was claiming lives.

Delivery was within expectations. A great read by this author.

Une histoire magnifique, écrite et sans doute interpretée avec brio, vu le nombre de Tony Awards qu'à remporter cette pièce en 2011. Une histoire qui nous fait aussi reflechie sur certaines choses, que n'importe qui devrait lire.Sinon, pour ceux qui n'aiment pas la lecture, surtout ici en anglais, je peux vous conseiller d'attendre la sortie du film !Ce sera un film HBO réalisé par Ryan Murphy (Mange, Prie, Aime), avec Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman), Mark Ruffalo (Avengers), Matthew Bomer (White Collar), Alec Baldwin (Ma vie pour la tienne), Taylor Kitsch (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory), Jonathan Groff (Glee), etc.Bref, ce sera à voir, mais en attendant, à lire !! :)
