What readers are saying
Readers find "Lonely Planet" to be a deeply emotional and touching exploration of friendship during the early years of the AIDS crisis.

Some also note its elegance and ability to evoke strong feelings, even in its textual form without staging, though a few feel it occasionally strays into being overly sentimental or literal.
