Rating: Summary: She is trying really hard to potray herself as "POOR DIANA" Review: I thought the book was really enlighting. It seems as if the author jumped from this time, to that time, and back to this time, an awful lot. I felt sorry for Diana, although I know I shouldnt have. It seems as if she is trying really hard to blame everyone around her (mostlly her husband) for everything that ever went wrong. Just sounded like she didnt want to take any responsibiliy for anything she EVER did that might have been wrong. This is the first book I have read about the Princess of Wales, but she has always interested me. If you are thinking of reading it, do so. While I was reading it I just tryed to keep in mind, that when this book was originally writen, the Princess of Wales, and the Prince of Wales were BOTH trying very hard to make the other look bad. I do believe the things that are in the book, however, I also try to make up my own mind about it. In every relationship that has ever went bad, there is his story, her story, and somewhere between these two stories you will find the truth.
Rating: Summary: Victim, victim, victim Review: Dear oh dear, I got quite angry reading this book, Diana was certainly incredibly self indulgent & vengeful, setting out to portray herself as the victim of the Windsors & Charles & Camilla's affair, which was euphemistically referred to as a 'friendship' throughout this book.Firstly, so her parents divorced, but really these days there is nothing unusual in that. She still led an extremely privileged life so it is hard to feel too much sympathy. Secondly, she was not a ture commoner, she was titled & came from a very monied, aristocratic background & had mixed on the periphery of the royals throughout her life. She was incredibly naive if not dumb marrying Charles & expecting to live happily ever after like the heroines in her step-gramdmother's (Barbara Cartland)vile novels. Thirdly, I note there was no mention of any of Diana's affairs & her unstable behaviour was glossed over or blamed entirely on her husband & his family. It was also poorly written & Diana was intent on tarnishing Charles' image.
Rating: Summary: A most excellent source of info for the Diana lover. Review: For those of us who love Diana, this is a heart whenching story and to discover that Diana did not live the "Fairy Tale" as everyone beleived she did. She was unfortunate to not be able to make her own destiny, it was made for her. This book is an excellent read for the avid Diana lover and collector!

Rating: Summary: Quite a Handful! Review: It's difficult to separate this book's historical and popular value from Morton's circuitous writing style. Suffice it to say, Diana's story is gripping and terribly shocking, but Morton's lack of organization (seeming to flit from topic to topic amd time to time, skimming over some details and laboriously outlining others) drove me absolutely nuts. Since it's come to light that Diana herself basically handed him this story, it's interesting to consider if, in reality, it's the former princess's own beleagured mind at fault. Anyway, I would definitely recommend reading this book because Diana's story is an undeniable facet in modern history, but be prepared to spend time on it, sorting it out chronologically and prioritically (if that's even a word).
Rating: Summary: NOT TOO BAD Review: I think it was a book I might read agen , but it is not likely. Oh, well
Rating: Summary: the best book in the world Review: i think it is the most straight to the point book on dian
Rating: Summary: Learn how to write Review: This book is very poorly writen
Rating: Summary: A truth revealer Review: I read Diana Her True Story and i found that the book was highly full of concentration on What happened with Diana unlike some books that stray away form the topic. I higly recommened this book.
Rating: Summary: I would definitely recommend this book for several reasons. Review: I primarily wanted to read it becasue when Princess Diana died, people all around the world mourned for her. She touched the lives of so many people in lots of different ways. Not only did I think it was interesting because of that reason, but also because she had many struggles and hardships to overcome. I found that encouraging. Also, Diana was of the royal family, which added to my curiosity. Lastly, it was very interesting to discover how misleading appearances, statuses, titles, clothes, money, jewelry, and other materialistic things are. These things don't make lives perfect and carefree. Sometimes being a normal, ordinary, plain person isn't that bad after all. Katie Cannada
