I chose this book for a multitude of reasons: 1) I wanted to know more about Carrie Fisher’s life,
2) I wanted to revisit my love of Star Wars, 3) I wanted to know more about her writing. “The
Princess Diarist” gave me what I was looking for. Fisher’s writing style is personal and quirky. I
was struck by how composed her journal writing was for a 19 year old. Few of us are able to
compose our thoughts so clearly. I enjoyed her humor - especially the lap dances - but was also
hit with an unsettling sadness. I hadn’t thought much about being the “star” in encounters with
fans (or more to the point “fanatics”); Fisher seemed to find the humor in those situations. I know
she wrote more about her life...not sure which I will read next.
