This format wasn't quite what I expected. While I knew they were diary entries, I wasn't expecting quick one or two line entries. Sometimes I felt like much of the context is missing to fully understand what is happening so you're just kind of fumbling around most of the time. There is also a bit of controversy regarding whether Rickman actually intended for these to be published. Since his widow is involved it seems fine, but who knows for sure.
That being said, I did enjoy the glimpses of a sarcastic and quick wit. His opinions about other actors or celebrities was also interesting (it was some of these that made me think maybe he didn't want these diaries published). The doodling and artwork was beautiful. All in all, I enjoyed it, but I felt like we only really got a quarter of the story.
