Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In an unfocused collection of essays, personal testimonies, interview transcripts and other material, Kubler-Ross writes (or compiles) here from the point of view that the AIDS epidemic has been visited upon the human race as a pre-Second Coming test of mankind's spiritual mettle--the 'ultimate challenge' of the title. PW found this to be "a strange and disappointing book."

From Library Journal

Kbler-Ross, the celebrated thanatologist, now joins the chorus of voices waging war with the AIDS epidemic. While her tone is shrill and full of indignation toward those who respond to AIDS with fear or prejudice, the book is nevertheless compelling. Drawing on her conversations with patients, families, and caregivers, the author covers the wide range of emotions triggered by the virus. Kubler-Ross, as in On Death and Dying and other previous works, makes a strong case for human compassion. She sees AIDS as an opportunity for us all to learn the ultimate lesson, the lesson of unconditional love. Recommended for general readers. Rev. David A. Buehler, Charlton Memorial Hospital, Fall River, Mass.
