Review # 1 was written on 2009-07-06 00:00:00 Irina Degtyareva NO MORE TOMORROWS By Rodney Lofton A Celebration of Life… Twenty years have passed since the day Mark Jones heard the words that would forever change his life. "You have tested HIV antibody positive." For years since that day he tried to prepare himself to die…only to wake up one day to realize it was just a diagnosis and not a death sentence. So to celebrate twenty years of "living" he decided to throw himself a "Celebration of Life" party. Inviting all his closet friends and family to celebrate another year of life. There he meets Kevin Williams and this is where the story really begins. NO MORE TOMORROWS is a beautifully written story of two gay men and the love they have for one another. It delves into the lives of each man and each man tells their side of the story. It makes you ask the questions: What would you do if the person you loved was diagnosed with HIV? Would you stay or would you walk away? NO MORE TOMORROWS was such an emotional and compelling read. Any biases you may have toward this subject should be erased after reading this novel. It was tastefully and beautifully written. There have only been two books in my life that can recall that I actually shed tears after reading and this book was one of them. So when that other person that you are intimate with tries to convince you not to use protection and you think for that split second and in the heat of the moment…that "I'm being monogamous so what is the harm"…well the harm is you DO NOT really know if they are being monogamous. It does not matter what sexual orientation you are…AIDS can infect anyone. NO MORE TOMORROWS would make for an excellent Lifetime movie. This by far is the best book I have ever read. I would definitely recommend this novel to all walks of life. Reviewed by Leona StreetLitClique www.streetlitclique.ning.com

Review # 2 was written on 2012-05-02 00:00:00 Jorgy Johnson This morning at 10:15 a.m. I finished reading No More Tomorrows by Rodney Lofton. It's a very powerful book. This is Mr. Lofton first novel and it contained themes of realism, which left me as the reader feeling as though I were reading a biography over a novel. Not that it is a bad thing. The flow of the story and writing still made it feel like you were actually a first-hand witness to their joys and pain. That confirms that he's a seriously talented writer. There were many lessons learn from reading this book. It opened my eyes to the reality of what H.I.V./AIDS can do to everyone involved from family, to significant others, to the close acquaintances. An illness of any kind is a test to see who's genuinely in your corner and who'll remain there to the end. This novel captured all of that. To sum it all up, the key theme of this book is love. Love can help a person overcome any obstacle that life throws at them. H.I.V./AIDS can happen to anyone. This was a strong message that it's imperative that we as individuals protect ourselves as well as others we get down with. It all starts with us, first. Communication is everything when it comes our health and safety. I applaud Mr. Lofton for writing such a beautiful, moving and thought-provoking novel. It's a new favorite of mine.
