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: DIANA WAS SHOWN AS HAVING FAULTS BUT CARING FOR OTHERS. Review: DIANA, HER TRUE STORY. READ THE ENTIRE BOOK AND ENJOYED IT. SHE CAME TO LIFE AS A REAL PERSON, NOT JUST A STIFF-LIPPED ROYAL WITH TITLE AND RICHES. SHE HAD A GIFT TO ENJOY LIFE AND ENJOY PEOPLE IN WHATEVER STATUS THEY WERE. ALL WERE IMPORTANT TO HER.
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: A great and truthful biographical book, wonderfully written Review: For us admirers of the late Princess of Wales, this book is certainly like a Bible. It is very thourough and painfully eye-opening, especially as it reveals the story of a simple young girl and her very rude - sometimes cruel - awakening to a life where the heart of gold is really as cold as ice. My hat is off to both the Princess and Mr. Morton for having been so courageous.
Rating: Summary: This is the most depressing, biased book I have ever read. Review: How depressing to hear a grown woman whining and blaming absolutely everything on her husband. Here she was on their honeymoon, bulimic, slashing herself with knives, throwing herself down stairs, and then she wonders why he begins to distance himself? Diana comes across as truly disturbed and bitter, yet wanting all the perks that go along with marriage to a Royal. Her own long list of affairs rates one or two sentences in this book, but there is chapter after chapter about Camilla. I was glad to finish the book and put it away--it rather depressed me.
Rating: Summary: Very nicely written Review: I can see genuine affection and respect in the words of the author and I think he handles the subject very well. Gracious, tactful, and a well-written tribute by someone who knew her personally.
Rating: Summary: Diana, the "People's Princess Review: I enjoyed reading this book, and found it to be fascinating. However, I have since read "A Royal Duty" by Paul Burrell. Some of the statments made in these two books are conflicting. In "Diana, Her True Story", it is made to sound like Princess Diane was always at odds with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip. In "A Royal Duty", Paul Burrell tells a different story. He maintains Diana had a loving and close relationship with the Queen and Prince Phillip right up until the time she died. It is a very interesting book, but after reading almost everything written about Princess Diana, there are so many different views and stories, it is hard to know which to believe.
Rating: Summary: Andrew Morton Review: I find this book both truthfully revised and open-minded. I'm sure Diana would love to see her own words...
Rating: Summary: Diana: Her True Story-In Her Own Words Review: I found this author extremely informative and very sympathetic to Diana, Princess of Wales. I feel that Andrew Morton has done a brilliant job with the re-release of this book. The content was most shocking and very sad. But it seems to be true if you look at her life over the years. I have grown very much interested witht he monarchy, unfortunatly because of her death. This book also illustrates the life of Royalty, in lay terms. I found this to be helpful in understanding this way of life. I hope he continues to inform the public on the future of the Monarchy and any new developments in these peoples lives. Brilliant work!
