Madly, Deeply: The Diaries of Alan Rickman by Alan Rickman

5.0

I couldn't love Alan Rickman more after reading this. There were hilarious entries about him being SO grumpy over various movies/plays he saw or actors he worked with during a project. We learn what JKR told him all those years ago about Snape. He waffled between being neutral about being in Harry Potter (mentioned he was a glorified background actor at one point) to being tired of the same questions about it. His view of Daniel Radcliffe really changed over the years, which was nice. There were sad and sweet entries about fellow actors and those he lost around him. I had no idea he was so close with Natasha Richardson and the entries after her death seemed to have hit him the hardest. I appreciate that Rima spoke about his last days to show how determined he was to stay normal. He was surrounded by so many wonderful friends. This was a great personal look into Alan Rickman's life.
