I wish there had been more of his illustrations throughout, and I found it difficult to keep up with his name dropping!

Because Alan Rickman was in the film industry, there are mentions of interacting with certain names that might be a bit of a jumpscare if you’re not bracing, such as a positive interaction with Kevin Spacey. Weinstein crops up multiple times but Rickman believes a female colleague’s account of mistreatment.booksalacarte's review against another edition

I love Alan Rickman. Listening to these personal diary entries was revealing in a way I’m not sure I was 100% comfortable with, knowing that he was gone before this was published. This is the main reason for the lower stars.
This was such an intimate and interesting look at a man know for his stoicism and British wit. I adored hearing his introspective snippets and lovingly harsh reviews of stage and screen performances of his peers. Looking at the daily life of someone so settled in his life and career without the opportunity flowery editing was fascinating.
It doesn’t replace him and what he could have continued to do in theatre and film.

cait's review against another edition
This was never gonna be higher than a 3-star read for me. It was more like calendar & jotted reminders - Tim Allen is obnoxious. I went to the doctor at 3:45 & was diagnosed with psoriasis. - than a deeper exploration of his feelings & experiences.
It was also making me dislike Alan Rickman - he writes a journal entry about how the US is too sensitive about 9/11 on 9/16 - so I chose to quit while I'm ahead.
