Review
This book is amazing.It's a great read, easy to follow and really hits at your heart.I would reccommend it to everyone.

I was so glad I bought this book.
I am a fan of Anthony Rapp's and a major fan of Rent, so I felt the need to pick up this book.It gives you such great insight into Anthony as a person and there was a lot in here to which I could relate.Plus, you get to follow along with the backstory behind Rent, which I also found very informative and entertaining.But above all, Anthony pleasantly surprised me with his writing talent.I thoroughly enjoyed this read and I hope he continues to write in the future.

Get this at Amazon
At first when I wanted to get this audio book I went to Barnes and Nobles.Figured, Hey, might as well save on shipping and handling.They never told me a price and told me it'd be in soon.TWO months go by and still no book!I go in every week and ask them, do you have my audio book yet??they say No, we can't find it in any warehouse anywhere.Finally I say take me off the list, I'm going to Amazon.com.I also ask them what was the price?They say "about $70"I am so glad that I never got it from them!!I saved FIFTY bucks with amazon.com and also got it in TWO DAYS!! And that was with the cheapest shipping they have! It made the entire process worth it.And the audio book is simply amazing, I read the book about two years ago and now I listen to the Audio Book in the car while I'm driving.It's extremely relaxing and Anthony's voice is so soothing and I don't feel alone when I drive alone at night.

Enjoyable for Rent-heads
Since I'm a big fan of Rent, I enjoyed this a lot. A revealing look at Jon Larson and his cast in the early days.
