Alan Rickman

Summary: My apologies to Alan Rickman
Review: Even 1 star is too much for this awful book. It is quite painfully bad. I am amazed that this book was published at all and I would discourage anyone from buying it. It is poorly written and has absolutely nothing to offer but lame attempts at "dirt" (Alan Rickman gets annoyed once in a while. Oh, the horror!), cheap innuendos and out-of-context quotes from friends and/or enemies.

A book like this is a terrible price to pay for celebrity and I am embarassed to admit that I have read it. Sorry, Alan.

Summary: What the Hell??
Review: If you enjoy Alan Rickman as an actor, Do Not Buy This Book. It is badly written, jumps from subject to subject, repetitive blobs to fill space, and plenty of unrelated "quotes" from no one in particular. I now know way much about Mr. Rickman's, early next door neighbor's 3rd cousin now. Being an American, she happily does not supply definitions for British words and organizations. To add insult to injury, Maureen Paton seems to believe that she can connect his personality to his hair style and that the two of them have "much in common." Buy the time I was half way done (where I stopped reading) Alan Rickman is rendered as the most Pompous Ass on the planet. Is she a fan???

Summary: The man it writes of hates it.
Review: Though there may be information within this book on Alan Rickman's acting career, I offer simply his own words to a fan when presented with this book to sign his autograph to: "I do not sign that awful book."

So, Rickmaniacs, be warned; he hates the book.
