Borrowed Time: An AIDS Memoir

Rating:
Summary: A Must Read
Review: This book is at once beautiful in its execution, and horrifying in its subject matter. Anyone who wants to understand what the beginning of this epidemic was like, and how much was lost in those first years must read this book. Long after AIDS is but a memory, "Borrowed Time" will stand as a monument to what nameless and faceless gay men and their families faced early in the epidemic, as well as a sobering reminder that in the face of such a horror as AIDS, apathy costs human lives.

Summary: A book that will move you, challenge you and anger you
Review: This is a book that should the bible for the puropose of life. In the era of AIDS this an account of living, gaining, loosing, figthing and learining to love. These pages share anguish of joy and pain and the scarsity of time. It will make you appriciate life and force you to acknowledge the privilages you hold to other people who suffer. It will anger you to know the propoganda of this government and force you to rebell against the system that oppresses you. This book will open your eyes, to the blindness of the life you hold for yourself. Ultimetly this book will teach that the espausment of one of the grander declerations "all men are created equal" will oneday live up to its promise with one change; all people period.
