A review by a_chickletz
The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher
3.0
This isn't a bad book, don't think the three-star review shows that.
If anything this is a sad book. It's a sad pull-back-the-curtain to a woman that millions of people adored. It gave a glimpse of someone going through bi-polar (and not knowing it), having a doomed love-affair with someone many people came to adore. It gave a cinematic couple, Han and Leia, a different meaning and allowed me to rethink scenes between Harrison and Carrie.
I think this book needed to come out. I think that it puts to rest the much open-secret rumors about their affair but also shows that it was not something that was exactly cherished on both sides. I feel that it was nice to finally understand that both sides were at fault.
I also enjoyed that we finally get a look at Carrie's view of autographs, fandom and being world-renown.
The reason why I rate it down two stars is that it was rather short. I felt that there was more that went on instead of what took place during Episode 4. But then again, maybe that's all there is to know... and the rest is blissfully erased by Ford's strong weed dosage.
Nevertheless, the book was good, but be warned: your galactic couple gets either a heightened or lowered sense of enjoyment.
