If none of these make you cry, you are dead inside. There is bound to be few that hit home.

It's a bit all over the place but some stories are really nice. It really focused on uplifting women.

I really don't know what to think of this story. Everybody has issues and given the circumstances that is to be expected, but it is just so hard to read a big issue and then it is left because it is not the main storyline. Frustrating. The main story is alright and I think it is a good image of the time.

I love Alan Rickman, and the start of this book with an opening from Emma Thompson just broke me and left me in tears. But those are the two reasons this book is getting more than 1 star.

It is not so much a biography, it is a dairy. Which is fine. But it leaves the reader to cherry pick and I just feel that since the 6 years (almost 7) he died, something much better could have been made. Rickman wasn't the type for being extra, so I can see why they decided to keep it plain simple and true, but as a reader this was not satisfying.

I loved this movie, so I just had to try the book. It is brilliant, so many perspectives, so well done. Everything is serperate and connected, and the loss of a voice gives so much more details on how something is experienced.

Such a difficult subject but so well done. It is hard to deal with having a parent that both gave you everything and also made you so miserable. It becomes ingraned and normal. I think for most people this book will either be some form of horror because how can a mother be like this, or a wonderful world of recognition.

Wonderfully distributing. I know people don't like it when books get a movie, but my experience is that if I like that movie, i will probably like the book (exceptions the, i still don't dare start the discovery of heaven)

So i liked the perspective here, you hate the guy but you know what is being done to him is also just wrong. It makes you want to stand up for a villain, not for him but if you read a dystopian you know this is where they usually start. So in that way it is just a very good read.

Lovely story, wonderful world setting. I expected some characters to have more of a role but it is really big focus on the main and then some sides. Was not the biggest fan of the love arch and the cliffhanger following that at the end of the book.

Will read the second one, but I know it will just make me scream at the book for all the awful decisions made.

The story had a nice trusty because we get a view from the past, but it really feels like a writer wanting to tie up all the loose ends she couldn't put in the first book because it would be too thick

I'm really just at that point were I believed I might like to pick this one up again, but it is just not as thrilling as I wanted it to be and more of a around the world with a dragon story. They don't seem to go to North America tho, but they might get lost in the last book.
