A man revealed
I found this book very illuminating.I never would have guessed that Alan Rickman's true personality is so different from his many screen personas. It was very interesting that his role in Truly, Madly, Deeply is close to his real life.
Being an American, I found some of the abbreviations and idioms hard to translate. It was nice that the author included some pictures of Alan Rickman in the paperback book.
I hope that some day Mr. Rickman will write his own memoirs so that we can see his life in his own words.

Don't be tempted.
I bought my copy on Ebay despite having read the terrible reviews - and it really is awful. There is too much of the author and her opinions and not nearly enough about the subject. I was left wondering if she had watched the films she covers - which don't include any of the Harry Potter films (back up Snape fans), Love actually or Snowcake, as the book was written before then.

I wish I had just bought another DVD or a back copy of a magazine with a genuine AR interview.

This book even gives tabloid a good name
The reason there is no input from the man himself is because he hates this book. For the Harry Potter fans, I think this book levels with the writings of Rita Skeeter. Wikipedia has a better bio than this book.

He does not support this book! Fans don't buy.....
Mr. Rickman himself said that he didn't support the book. For people who adore this actor as I do don't buy it!

Save your money
Alright Rickmaniacs, I found this book in the seat compartment of a BA flight from LAX to London and let me tell you, now I know why someone left this book behind.
Paton's idea's about Rickman are highly questioned and considering who she used as resources, that does not surprise me.
The style of Paton's writing is Chaotic at best, and was difficult to follow.
If you want to read this book, find a copy to borrow and buy an AR Dvd or CD instead. ... Read more

This is the best audiobook I have ever heard
I listen to books on tape regularly. This was the best audiobook I have ever heard! I love reading Thomas Hardy myself, but listening to Alan Rickman was much better. He has a mezmerizing voice and his accents add so much to the story. I didn't want it to be over. I highly recommend this audiobook.

Perfect Way to Enjoy Thomas Hardy!
I bought this audio book as a gift for my mother-in-law.Before I gave it to her, I thought I'd check it out first to make sure everything worked all right.When I started listening, I was hooked.You can guess the rest: I haven't yet given it to Mom.She'll have to wait her turn.

This is a great way to enjoy "The Return of the Native." If you're a fan of Thomas Hardy or the narrator, Alan Rickman, don't miss it!

A Listening Pleasure
I bought this audiobook because it's narrated by Alan Rickman, my favorite actor.I knew nothing about the Thomas Hardy book before I bought this, but I'm fully engaged in this story of complicated love and longing thanks to Mr. Rickman's reading.His gorgeous voice and subtle performances (even when he voices female characters, he doesn't go over the top in an effort to sound like a feminine caricature) enliven the tale.

what's everyone so excited about?
A buddy loaned this to me, claiming I was going to love Alan Rickman's reading.

While I am a huge fan of this book (in my opinion, Hardy's best), Rickman's reading, while far from bad, is nothing special.

His pace is monotonous and he makes scant effort to mimic the voices of various characters.It's a reading, pure and simple.Not a dramatization by any means, or a single sound effect.It is completely unabridged, however.

Alan Rickman, in case you don't know, is the guy who's made a career out of playing fey villains, such as the Sheriff of Nottingham in that 80's version of "Robin Hood," with Kevin Costner.

The Best Audiobook I've Ever Heard
I love Thomas Hardy's writings and his novel "The Return of the Native" is probably my favorite thing he wrote. The descriptive passages are truly lush, vibrant and stunning. This reading by Alan Rickman is more than a reading: it is a master performance. I only wish that Rickman could read ALL of Hardy's novels. Highly recommended! ... Read more

Why did a 23-year-old woman leave her comfortable American life to stand between a bulldozer and a Palestinian home? The story of Rachel Corrie's short life and sudden death is told from the words she left behind. ... Read more

Everyone Must Feel Safe

The ceiling in Rachel Corrie's second grade classroom had rules hanging from it.Years later, the only one she remembered was "Everyone Must Feel Safe."That rule seems a philosophical impetus to joining the International Solidarity Movement in Gaza in 2003.

From a literary perspective, I'm intrigued at how well the play uses non-dialogue devices as tools for characterization.At one point, Corrie reads from her notebook; she recites a list of five people who she'd like to "hang out with" in eternity.These people are Rainer Maria Rilke, Jesus, ee cummings, Gertrude Stein, and Zelda Fitzgerald...and then Corrie adds a sixth:Charlie Chaplin.Very quickly, the audience knows that this is a young woman of imagination with a passion for creative expression and a personal philosophy that espouses turning the other cheek.The sixth addition to the list tells us that she has a great sense of humor and that she's unbound by the world's strictures.After all, given a choice of five, she goes outside the box and picks six.

The overall impression I'm left with after experiencing this play is one of hope, hope that human courage will compel us to stand against and oppose that which we believe is wrong.I have no doubt that had she had the chance, Rachel Corrie would have stood in front of the Gestapo when they came to round up innocent families for the trains.And that, too, would have been the courageous and right thing to do.

Play is a tribute and a plea
Because of the youthful exuberance, which is not naivety, of Rachel Corrie's words, taken from her journals and e-mails to folks "back home," this drama does proceed deeper, and deeper into the mind and actions of a young woman on her personal crusade to do something about the lives of virtual strangers. Dramatists have put together an excellent portrayal of Rachel and some of the conflicts of her life experience.

RACHEL CORRIE WAS INSIGHTFUL ANDSAW THE FUTURE "CLEARLY.": RACHEL DEFENDED THE PERSECUTED WITH "NON-VIOLENCE." LIKE GHANDI DID
This young lady brutally murdered by an Israeli soldier, was very aware of what was truly going on in "The Palestinian Holocaust" that still is ongoing today. This book is a book of a true "American Hero." Her heroic death must not be in vain, but give courage to all to stand up to the racist atrocities being perpetrated in the world today. The brutal savagery and humiliation against the women, children and men of Palestine is one such, present day "Holocaust." Rachel Corrie had incredible foresight for someone so young. Her cause is now proven and backed by some of the greatest human beings and scholars on this earth: Former President Jimmy Carter has gotten the same message Rachel was getting out to the world in his present best-seller: "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid." In another new best-seller "THE ISRAEL LOBBY, AND U.S. FOREIGN POLICY," by John J. Mearsheimer (of U. of Chicago) and Stephan M. Walt (Harvard), clearly shared young Rachel's view that the savage and horrific treatment of the Palestinian People and "their" lands, was not good for Palestinians, Israeli's, and Especially for America's Safety and Reputation to the World. The list seems endless, especially today, proving and backing Rachel's heroic mission. May she rest in peace. Her parents must be so proud that Rachel tried to help the oppressed and brutally occupied people of Palestine. Rachel Corrie, be proud as your message of justice is being carried on by the great authors mentioned and many more.

Just something to think about readers: Be careful or take great caution with amateur reviews that try to distort Rachel's pure and humane message. Whose words do you give more weight to, a reckless, insensitive, amateur reviewer, or some of the notable icons and scholars mentioned. Yes, everyone is entitled to an opinion,(that's what makes AMAZON the best) but some spend years researching specialty topics and are more up to speed - weigh everything. Do Former President, and probably todays greatest humanitarian, Jimmy Carter's words have weight and substance? What about other great and acclaimed scholars such as Professor John J. Mearsheimer, who is the Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science and the co-director of the Program on International Security Policy at the Univ. of Chicago. Add, Professor Stephen M. Walt, who is the Robert and Renee Belfer Professor of International Affairs at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. Who do you believe? I leave that rhetorical question to you.

Rachel Corrie and her beautiful messages in her writings, this book, and her heroic and tragic death keep her lagacy and message of justice alive. Now, more than ever, notable people and scholarly authors are writing an array of necessary books supporting Rachels cause and, important message. A message that, finally, is getting to Americans,i.e., The horrific plight of the Palestinian peoples. Rachel, the world will not forget that you died for the justice of the Palestinians. Rachel's life should be a academic course in and of itself. Rachel was a true martyr. Read Rachel and be inspired and moved forever....

Good book about a misguided girl
This is a tough review to write.

As to the book, it deserves five stars.

But as to Rachel Corrie, who was an American member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) who traveled to the Gaza Strip during the Al-Aqsa Intifada, she brought about her own death when she was defending the wrong side.

The Al-Aqsa Intifada was started by Yasir Arafat when he refused to take the 99% of the West Bank that Ehud Barak offered him.

Arafat had to start the Al-Aqsa Intifada because if he did not, people would comes to terms with his own incompetence, arrogance, and greed.Which has all been documented since.

First off, Fatah, Hama and others, who Rachel defended, besides being anti-Israel, are anti-American.

Second off, these two organizations have killed innocent people, including many Americans.

For Rachel Corrie to defend these people is criminal at best, immoral at worst.Rather than defending terrorists, Rachel should have been defending the innocent Israelis.

She was killed when she tried to obstruct an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Caterpillar D9 armoured bulldozer operating in Hai as-Salam, a Palestinian area of Rafah, close to the border with Egypt, an area the IDF had designated a security zone.

Why was the bulldozer there?For security operations designed to uncover the network of smuggling tunnels connecting Egypt to the Palestinian side of Rafah - tunnels used by Hamas and other groups for smuggling weapons from Egypt in Gaza strip.

Let's see, illegal weapons are imported to kill innocents and Corrie wants to defend such people?

She brought about her own death.

Rachel Corrie was a beautiful person with a good heart.She was also misguided.That mistake took her life.

This is a sad tale about a good heart, who defended evil people.

Great book!
I think that this book has the ability to capture a person's attention on an emotional level as well as a political one. Rachel Corrie was a very profound writer, even as a teenager. In this book you get to experience her life the way that she did. She was a very special person and you can see that as you read this book. It was a tragedy the way she died, and I think that this book kind of does her memory some justice. ... Read more

A Collection to Treasure
A wonderful collection of stories told in a rich assortment of familiar and unfamiliar voices, beautifully put together.This is an audio book to treasure.

Stories are good!
Stories are always a good thing. Diversity too. Hearing tales from other lands helps us to learn more about each other. I shared this set with my niece and two nephews ages 5 to 8 yrs old. They loved it too. Truthfully, the real reason why I made this purchase is because of Alan Rickman. He's one of my favorite actors/voices. I could find only one story read by him, but it was well worth it.

Great Stories for a Great Cause
I was moved by the fund raising effort support for HIV AIDS orphans in South Africa, familiar and admiring of the story collection released some years ago, I was delighted to listen through the entire collection. The blend of music and voice, brilliantly realized by a host of talented talents "Artists for a New South Africa", brings these stories alive!Libraries (like mine) and individuals will appreciate each and every track in this 3 CD set that is up for Grammy nomination.

Rating the CDs
We've given the audio book and the book as gifts to a number of people, and they've raved about it. I haven't heard every one of the readings but the ones I've listened to are superbly done.Artists for a New South Africa (ANSA), which produced the three CD audio book, assembled a distinguished cast that included (among many others)Desmond Tutu, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, Samuel Jackson, Alan Rickman, Charlize Theron and Don Cheadle-- and had music composed and played by one of South Africa's leading musicians and sung by South Africa's best-known singer.The tales are collected from all over Africa, and they will interest adults as well as children. It's a wonderful present for Christmas or Hannukah or for a child's birthday. And, Hachette, the producer is giving the proceeds to ANSA and Nelson Mandela's Children's Fund which will use the money mainly to help AIDS orphans.

An all-star narration cast helps bring to life Nobel Peace laureate Nelson Mandela's collection of short stories that create a patchwork of legends drawn from all over the African continent, In one story, the children of an East African village must destroy a beautiful and enchanting bird that has brought bad luck to the surrounding countryside.

Excerpt: Robert Selden Duvall (born January 5, 1931) is an American actor and director. He has won an Academy Award, two Emmy Awards, and four Golden Globe Awards. He began his career appearing in theatre during the late 1950s, moving into small to supporting television and film roles during the early 1960s in such works as To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) and Captain Newman, M.D. (1963). He started to land much larger roles during the early 1970s with movies like MASH (1970) and THX 1138 (1971). This was followed by a series of critical successes: The Godfather (1972), The Godfather Part II (1974), Network (1976), The Great Santini (1979), Apocalypse Now (1979), and True Confessions (1981). Since then Duvall has remained an important presence in both film and television with such productions as Tender Mercies (1983), The Natural (1984), Colors (1988), Lonesome Dove (1989), Stalin (1992), The Man Who Captured Eichmann (1996), The Apostle (1997), A Civil Action (1998), Gods and Generals (2003) and Broken Trail (2006). Duvall was born in San Diego, California, the son of Mildred Virginia (née Hart), an amateur actress and relative of American Civil War General Robert E. Lee, and William Howard Duvall, a Virginia-born U.S. Navy admiral.

Excerpt: Hugh John Grant (born 10 September 1960) is a British actor and film producer. He has received a Golden Globe Award, a BAFTA, and an Honorary César. His movies have also earned more than $2.4 billion from 25 theatrical releases worldwide. Grant achieved international stardom after appearing in Richard Curtis's sleeper hit Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994). He used this breakthrough role as a frequent cinematic persona during the 1990s to deliver comic performances in mainstream films like Mickey Blue Eyes (1999) and Notting Hill (1999). By the turn of the century, he had established himself as a leading man skilled with a satirical comic talent. In recent years, Grant has expanded his oeuvre with critically acclaimed turns as a cad in Bridget Jones's Diary (2001), About A Boy (2002), and American Dreamz (2006). He has been criticised by students of cinema for putting emphasis on nuanced mannerisms, for the predictability of his movies, and for his unwillingness to stretch as an actor. Within the film industry, he is cited as a anti-movie star who approaches his roles like a character actor, with the ability to make acting look effortless. Hallmarks of his comic skills include a nonchalant touch of irony/sarcasm and studied physical mannerisms as well as his precisely-timed dialogue delivery and facial exp...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=170779 ...
