Same here, CS. *sigh*
So I am going for the Rent lotto tomorrow (of the tour) and am uberly excited, but have no idea where exactly I go or anything which kinda sucks.
Good luck!
Do book reviews usually come out the day a book is released? If so, we should be on the lookout starting tomorrow.
Who's complaining? I like Book of Endings, but that's because the behaviors he's describing aren't something to aspire to and I recognize that.
But it's like, even with Anthony's book, you don't know everything about him- you know what he wants you to know. Not to make him sound all secretive and manipulative, but there's a definite difference between knowing everything about him and knowing everything about his book.
It probably depends on where the review is. Like, I think the Times only does book reviews on Sundays?
Well, I know that in terms of the actual paper, the Book Review section comes out on Sundays. But, I think they might put reviews up on their site.

I forgot where it was exactly, but I just kinda shrugged because I think its a good song. And fans DO get crazy.

Definite good point there. But really- I still wouldn't have the guts to share some moments he did.
Neiter would I. I really repect him for that.
It got a good review in Enetainment Weekly.

Yea, If anyone has the link, post.

For those who can't make it out:
This “Memoir of Love, Loss and the Musical Rent” definitely demands an avid interest in the 1996 rock opera. But Rapp’s book is no roar-of-the-crowd, smell-of-the-greasepaint scrapbook; it’s a sprawling, tear-streaked life story and unabashedly sentimental ode to his mother (she died of adrenal cancer in 1997). Rapp’s personal and professional lives were like warped mirror images: As Rent went from workshop to Tony-winning theatrical sensation (Rapp played cynical filmmaker Mark), the actor watched his mother waste away. “I wanted desperately, selfishly, to be there…for her final moments. To live that dramatic deathbed scene from so many movies,” he writes. His prose can be clunky and overwrought, but his voice is unpretentious and unfailingly honest. A rare (and refreshing) occurrence in a showbiz memoir.
And they gave the book a B.
Whee, 2.7!
Congratulations, Anthony!!
Confetti all around!
You really like that confetti picture, eh?
That's right I said eh.

2.7?
Confetti rocks, and so do the Beatles... What's NOT to like about that picture?
Nothing's wrong. The Beatles have just been throwing around a lot of confetti lately.
And there will be even more confetti when One Song Glory: A memior of Sparkly Pants, Hair Dye, and trying to forget about the musical RENT comes out.
I just love typing that.
Only for Anthony can I endure a movie featuring TOM GREEN. *shudders*
Ah, well, Toms not in it that much.
And Anthony's not in it ENOUGH. Boo.
And then he gets bit by a snake. Poor Anthony.
