A review by grayola
The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher

3.0

What redeemed this book for me was Carrie's voice and how adept she is at making you feel like she's speaking (writing) right at you. It's fitting she's got so much personal literature out there, though this was the first of it I've ever read. The diary-entry portion of the book was surprisingly the least engaging and for some might be a deal-breaker if they were to attempt to trudge through it. Otherwise, this is fantastic supplemental reading for any Star Wars fan—especially the last two chapters wherein she confronts her legacy as a fictional icon and provides some enlightening testimony on the kinds of interactions fans have with those they are fans of.
