"...an important and unique view of AIDS from a different perspective...sensitive...brings a very human dimension to the AIDS crisis."-Library Journal

"Chuck Solomon: Coming of Age is not about dying of AIDS. It's about dealing with tragedy, about examining the value and contributions of our own lives, about rewards and validation."-The Oakland Tribune

"...modest and moving...so sane in its attitude toward this contemporary plague that you're tempted to call it AIDS without tears. But what it really does is present AIDS with tears and warmth and hope."-San Francisco Examiner

"Certainly, the care and quality exhibited by this work would recommend its being shown to a wide general adult audience."-Science Books & Films
