Pickpick

How to rate a book like this??? It‘s like rating Rickman‘s experiences and thoughts about life. The diary format was clunky for me - pro tip, don‘t try to power through, take breaks - but his insights got me to see the man behind Colonel Brandon. At times super positive, and other times a bit catty, Rickman describes working on films and plays, as well as his constant health battles. I was exhausted just reading about his jet setting ways!

Bluebird Great actor. So many wonderful roles. My favs: Colonel Brandon, Hans Gruber and Snape. Think I need to read his book. Stacked! 2y
Librarybelle @rmaclean4 @Bluebird I felt a little invasive reading his diaries, but it was also a nice sneak peek into some of his movies and the interactions on set! 2y
Bluebird 🤔 do you know if he authorized the publication of the diaries? I don‘t think I‘d want to read it if he didn‘t. 2y
Cinfhen Excellent review! I was going to use this book for the same prompts but I‘m not really a fan and I wonder if I‘ll “enjoy” or appreciate this one?? I might look for another option. 2y
Cinfhen @Bluebird good point!!! 2y
Librarybelle @Bluebird @Cinfhen There is not a specific statement anywhere that he authorized this…his wife worked with a collaborator to put this out. So, I‘m not sure. 2y
Cinfhen Thanks, Jess 💜 2y
Bluebird Thanks! Hopefully he and his wife discussed this before his death. 2y
LibrarianRyan I have heard such good things about this. 2y

THIS. BOOK. Has made me so happy last night.

I was struggling with the #abookpublishedposthumously prompt for the #pop19 reading challenge and I discovered that this one works for that prompt. Yay!!!

Also, it's pretty good. I'm enjoying her style of writing.
