Madly, Deeply: The Alan Rickman Diaries

This book is lovely. Alan Rickman has a different approach on journaling which is witty and yet pragmatic. This book is a documentation on his own terms which may be a bit hard to read to some. He talks a lot about friends and relationships and restaurants. It is more of a document of time and place than deeply forthcoming. Great read for the penultimate fan.

Hermoso 🤩

Sou fã do Alan e ter a oportunidade de ler este livro em inglês, me deixa muito contente. O livro chegou muito rápido, bem embalado, limpo, impecável. Capa dura linda! Pelo preço que paguei, foi uma excelente compra. O livro contém os pensamentos, anotações do querido Alan Rickman.

Madly, Deeply: The Diaries of Alan Rickman is perfect in every way. The book is just that: Alan Rickman’s diaries, with some clarifying footnotes. There’s also great pictures of the original diaries and photos from Alan Rickman’s estate.Alan’s wife, Rima, concludes the book, which should hopefully make the naysayers realize that Alan DID want his diaries published. When the introduction says that we don’t know if he did, what that means is, perhaps Alan would have turned the diaries into more of a memoir. Alas, we’ll never know.I do find many of the critical reviews quite sad; some readers write as though Alan dying of pancreatic cancer and leaving his diaries unfinished was an inconvenience to them. They also question why the diaries were published. You can disregard those reviews.Also, some don’t seem to understand what an editor does. There’s no reason to criticize that some diaries weren’t included.Alan was an amazing person and actor. His diaries are not just fascinating, they’re inspiring, as everyone can and should journal in the way he did.

Bellissimo libro su un grande attore Alan Rickman...in lingua inglese...un regalo per me e mia figlia.
