Summary: Absolutely wonderful and unforgettable book.
Review: I have read all of Andrew Morton's books on the life of Diana, Princess of Wales. I believe them to be the most accurate accounts of the real story surrounding her life. The fact that he had her approval meant to me that his books were not meant to hurt her but to tell the real truth. They are a tribute to her and her sons. Had Prince Charles not betrayed her from the start, she would be alive today and would have made him a good queen and queen mother to his son, the future king of England. In searching for the happiness she was denied, she met with trajedy, which could have all been avoided had her life not been devastated by him. My heart was saddened as I read this particular book, thinking all the while if Prince Charles will ever accept any responsibility for her death. It was a wonderful book, I highly recommend it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Queen of hearts
Review: I have to say I was always in love with Diana, and followed her career and life very closely. I collected every magazine cover I could find during her courtship with Charles. I even got to see them once in person, from a distance of course.

I bought Andrew Morton's first book on Diana when it first came out, just like I got this one. This is actually the fourth book on Diana Morton has done. This book continues some of the same information. Morton has included new material here, particularly since the last book was completed some time before Diana's tragic death in Paris.

There aren't any earth shattering revelations here. There are different nuances, and people are naturally a little more free to say what they feel than they did while the Princess was still alive and had a future to consider, both for herself and for her boys. There are some rehashes of the allegations with Michael Fawcett, a few taped conversations that have been included that were considered too sensitive before, but by and large, this is another in a long line of books meant to continue the legacy of Diana as the woman wronged more than she was in the wrong, though there were faults on both sides.

Morton is obviously sympathetic with Diana, and for those of us who still can't get enough of her, this book is a treat. For those who only need a little information, this is still an intriguing book. There were mysteries in Diana's life just as there is a mystery in her death, and Morton writes this in a suspenseful way, because even though we know the fate of Diana as a person, her image lives on and will continue to develop and be surrounded by mysteries, not just the fuzzy details of her death.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best biography I've ever read.
Review: I liked Diana very much. She was the princess of my heart like the other people who thinks in that way and I became very sad when she died. When I read this book I understood her life very well and I just couldn't believe my eyes for reading an impossible life story. The writer Andrew Morton's language is not hard so every one can understand the book easily. I think he wrote a great book and if you are interested in Princess Diana or if you are a fan of her, you must read that book so you can perfectly understand her and her sad life.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Mixed Feeings
Review: I own and have read practically every book ever written about Princess Diana, including all of Andrew Morton's books about her. This one was well-researched and written, and he obviously cares a great deal about his subject matter. However, I feel that he strays from the title the overall intent of this book: Diana in Pursuit of LOVE. He re-hashes many old details, and therefore much of this book's content is superfluous and simply makes it TOO LONG WINDED. I knew all of those old details! It took me forever and a day to get through it, which is not usually the case. My other complaint is Morton's obviously personal vendetta towards Paul Burrell. I happened to love Burrell's book "A Royal Duty" and do completely believe his account on life with the princess. Morton obviously has a personal bone to pick with Burrell, yet Morton was the only one who chose to use his book to air their problems publicly. Otherwise, I'm glad that Morton is keeping Diana "alive" by writing about her; I just hope that his future novels, if any, are shorter and stick to the main subject.

Rating: 5 stars
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

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: 5 stars
Summary: A beautifully written book!
Review: I read everything I get my hands on and this book really touched me. She was so misunderstood by her new family, I believe they never gave her a chance. She was more with the times and they didn't want to see change.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beautifully written, yet very disturbing
Review: I read this book every night before I went to bed and I honestly had a hard time sleeping after finishing a chapter. It was very disturbing to read in her own words how much she actually suffered. All I wanted to do was turn back the clock, give her a huge hug, and tell her how much we all appreciated her and her peace acts. Morton has weaved a beautiful story of this "English Rose" that no one can seem to get enough of. I do think that it is a little depressing, but terrific!!
