just lazily giving you the diary entries to read through does not work for me as a memoir. there is hardly anything compelling to pull from reading about him going to the gym and meeting with an entrail of initals. would've rather they worked it into a biography so that you might savour those thoughts that really tell you something profound about who he was and what he did.

If your name is in the index maybe you'll love this and buy several copies, but if it's not, the list of names (most of which I didn't know), and dinners, and waiting around for a scene to be short becomes tedious. I loved Alan Rickman's acting; I'd rather remember him like that.

This was a very dry book. I really struggled with continuing when I had the realization that Alan Rickman may not have wanted this published. He did not appear to have a hand in its publications.

3.5 I tried to change the voice of the reader into Alan Rickman’s unique voice. He was passionate about his work and loved his community. It was fun hearing his story a bit through his diary entries.
