Jen’s Reviews > Madly, Deeply: The Diaries of Alan Rickman > Status Update

In the beginning, it was questioned as to why he wrote his diary… I believe that just from the substance alone, so far, it was logging events and emotions, and debriefing his brain. Introspective and observant folks have MANY thoughts zipping through us 24/7, and it makes sense to spew them on paper, wherever they may land.

I just read Britney Spears’ memoir prior to this diary. I think that is probably really important, and the fact that it’s a diary, published posthumously. But, that being said I think I love this diarist more that the memoir-writer (who glossed over sooo much that it felt absurd at times) Anyway back to the diary. I love the humor and the writing. He’s alive again in these pages. Makes me wanna write again, too
