Save your time and your money

Revisado: 11-12-22

I write this as a fan of Mr Rickman…this is a complete waste of your time and money. Think of this endeavor not as a diary, but as the audacious publication of someone’s schedule/log with only a few edifying comments thrown in with, what I assume, must have been a plan to revisit as a framework for a potential book. If you think you will gain insight into Mr Rickman or any of the myriad celebrities he references, forget it. Though there are laundry lists of famous people he interacts with (ex: Hugh Grant, Sting, Elton John, Mike Nichols, Emma Thompson, Julia Roberts , Duchess of Cambridge and on and on, that’s all you’ll get. A list. Not a word of description. Imagine in reference to his filming of Love Actually ( everyone’s favorite low brow film) there is not a word. There are very rare acerbic, sarcastic contemptuous comments that will confirm what you already felt you ‘ knew’ about him. It’s like listening to someone reading the phone book for 19 hours on the chance you recognize that a friend or two has changed their phone number. Fifty percent of the ‘book’ is ….pick up at 740, Heathrow 830, 915 Lufthansa to Berlin. Just like that. Over and over again. Nothing the slightest bit personal. This could not have been meant as a publication. The audacity of someone ( his wife ?) to make some money off a calendar is astounding and insulting to the man. Wish I had read the NYT review before ordering.

DISAPPOINTED

Revisado: 06-08-22

Well written. Often poetic,
But overall, one is left empty. Disappointed. Uncaring. It lacks a soul.
