Editorial Reviews

Review

“His design background didn’t go to waste either. The book’s endpapers reproduce his sweet illustrations and affable handwriting. . . . From his obituaries I got the feeling he was wonderful company. These diaries confirm it.”
―The Guardian

“It’s a joy to spend time in Rickman’s company.”
―Kirkus Reviews

Insight into a brilliant human
5 Stars
Insight into a brilliant human
Although his entries are often cryptic or seemingly mundane, the care and attention to his diaries provides an exceptional look into the life and work of one of the best actors of our age. His works span decades and run the gamut of popular and obscure, critically acclaimed to under-appreciated. This book is an homage to his tireless work and love for his craft. Definitely worth reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect in Every Way
Reviewed in Canada on October 19, 2022
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.
