Summary: Interesting-Could not stop reading-Revelation!!
Comment: Tony Kushner's Pulitzer Prize winning Book, "Angels in America," was a non-stop, adventure story through the lives of many very interesting people! Like most humans, who have a pulse, I enjoy getting involved in other peoples lives, without them knowing it. It is exciting when I accidently pick up someone's phone conversation when I am using a portable phone, should I hang up? or should I listen? I had the same feeling when I read "Angels in America", I almost felt guilty as I read because I wanted to know what was going to happen next. It was like watching a soap opera, I became ingulfed in the drama. Kushner kept my mind wondering on what was on the horizon by craftly switching back from one scene to another, but at the same time he did not let me think to long. Personally, being a white, hetrosexual male, I do not experience racism, sexism, or any descrimination first hand, (at least I don't think so)but I do see it all around me. Kushner drops the reader into the minds of many different characters, such as; homosexuals, AIDS infected individuals, black drag queens, corrupt politicans, mormans, and crazies to name a few. By doing this Kushner reaches all the readers no matter what their past experiences are, and puts everyone at an even level. This even level is of the view point of the characters. After reading these different personalities and "living" with these characters through "Angels in America", the reader understands their struggle for every day existence. In conclusion, I think that reading this book has enlighted me and I would reccomend it to everyone! (over eighteen of course) "Angels in America" is truly a great piece of American literature and shows the struggle for Americans to fullfill there dreams, and the nightmares that sometimes occur in the process.

Summary: I couldn' t put the book down, I loved Angels in America !!!
Comment: Once you Start you can't Stop!! Angels in America written by Tony Kushner is a brilliant play. Kushner captures the lives of Homosexuals, Black drag queens, Mormans, and corrupted Republican. I have never read anything that could keep my attention as well as Kushner. I started to read this book on Friday and I couldn't put it down untill I was finished reading. I was taught many things that I didn't know about Homosexuals and the difficulties that they indoor. Presently, being a White female I was unaware of the discrimination against Homosexuals and the limitations that go along with homosexuality. I can guarantee that you will be ingulf by the characters of this play Prior, Lewis, Joe, Belize, and many more that will keep your attention span going all the way to the end. Kushner also informs the reader about AIDS, and drugs and its effect on the lives of the characters. Kushner also keeps you on your toes by switching from fantasy to reality. I suggest that you find out for yourself to see if you were as interested in the play as I was. Have FUN !!

Summary: I love this book!
Comment: I'm a college student majoring in Theater Design. I had to read this play for one of my classes my freshman year. So I sat down expecting to plod through a story that I'd never read again. Boy was I shocked! I loved it! I couldn't put it down until I'd read the last page, and then I got right online and ordered the sequel. Honestly, I'm not as big a fan of the second book. I haven't read it in a while, but from what I remember it's more offensive, and honestly, a little more like smut. There's an angel with 7 vaginas and it has sex with one of the characters...one of the gay characters..go figure. The second book also seems to take more pot shots at God, which I didn't appreciate as a Christian. Anyway. This is a review of the first book, not the second. (just reminding myself!) I have 7 big bookcases of books at my parents' house, plus my dad is a librarian, so I do a LOT of reading. This book is ALWAYS one of the few "Chosen" books that I take to college with me to keep in my dorm. And just as a side note, I'm not gay, so this book is NOT just for gay people like some of the people whom I've talked to seem to think. BUY IT! You'll be enlightened and inspired to think.
