Summary: NO PREDICTIONS OF IMPENDING DEATH HERE
Review: Now that she is gone and the word is out that Diana did cooperate with the telling of this story the book is all the more interesting. Having never read a book about Diana, I found this to be very informative and tragic. Diana appears to have been a very misunderstood and lonely person, caught up in circumstances she had no control over. You just want to reach into her life and comfort her.

Prince Charles was clearly the villain in the relationship as much of his behavior has been confirmed in the media since her death. His refusal to discontinue his relationship with Camilla Parker-Bowles speaks for itself. How anyone could pick CPB over Diana in unfathomable. What was never addressed was what Andrew Parker-Bowles thought about the relationship between his wife and Prince Charles. Both Camilla and Charles denied there was a relationship. What a crock.

The book provides a great back-story to Princess Diana's untimely death. But there is no prediction about an impending car accident as Diana's Butler Paul Burrell now claims. However she did make a haunting prediction in 1992 on page 220 that did come true, "I am performing a duty as the Princess of Wales ... but I don't see it any longer than 15 years."

A good introduction to someone who knows nothing about Diana.

Summary: Talk about use someone.
Review: Okay, when this book first came out (when Diana was alive), I would have given this book a much higher rating because it was obvious to all of us that she wanted the facts of her life to be known and had given Mister Morton permission to write it. But, I never read it back then. I read it a few months after her death and have to say, although the book was informative and obviously could not have been written without Diana's help, the only reason Morton re-released it with her handwritten notes was to make a buck. He could care less about her tramatic life. She would NEVER have allowed him to openly admit she was behind the book. By making this fact common knowledge, Morton made her look bad to her boys, her family and basically, the world! I thought James Hewitt was a bit on the low side but Morton is an even slimier lowlife in my book!

Summary: Morton does it again
Review: Once again Andrew Morton provides readers with a highly personal look at a very human princess. From her temperamental faults to her unfulfilled hunger for affection, he gives a frank and accurate portrait of the world's most admired - and missed - woman. The world is a poorer place without Diana, and may she rest in peace. The fact that Diana herself never knew how very much she WAS loved is yet another tragedy of her untimely death

Rating:
Summary: Shocking.
Review: One word can describe Andrew Morton's book: shocking. You recieve a detailed description of the late Princess of Wales' life that will shock you and make you sorrowful for the pain she suffered. The book tells of a life of self-hatred from Diana's bulimia to her many suicide attempts. Morton paints a very different portrait of the Princess' remarkable life, not the fairy tale often portrayed by the media. He takes you into a broken marriage with vivid scences of fighting and Charles off and on romance with Camilla Parker-Bowels. This is the book that rocked Britain and is a throughly good reading experience that you will not regret.

Summary: Frightfully awful book darling!
Review: Picked up a copy of this book thingy while I was waiting for my Concorde flight the other day (Bruce and Demi were late, as usual). Poor Di really had a hard time with this Morton chappie, what with the bulimia and the suicide attempts just to avoid the publishing deadlines. Still, it does include some wizard photos of lovely Dodi, and the cover matches my Prada handbag and Gucci phone perfectly! Don't forget to wear your seatbelts, darlings! Those concrete pillars are such a nuisance, aren't they? Mwah!

Summary: Intriging
Review: Since the death of this incredible princess and mother, people have been either harping on her memory or exalting her to the pedistal of a goddess. I think that she would have been happiest knowing that others remembered her by continuing her work. Not by giving money to charity, although that is kind, but by loving others in need of love and helping those who are lonely. Diana cannot write her own biography now, but this book is, as it says, the closest thing we will get to her own autobiography. In the book it tells the story of how Diana grew up, became a troubled princess, and a happy mother. It speaks of her eating dissorder and how she over came it and changed her life by finding meaning in service. It also has been added onto in the end to tell about the last years of her life, her divorce, her death. It contains a special section that show Diana's words for the original story and contains pictures. Altogether it is and amazing book and most likely all true.

Summary: England's Rose
Review: The book, Diana her true story was an excellent portrayal of the beloved DI. This biography gave me much information on DI's life starting from her childhood and ending with her adulthood. The book even had Diana's own words published in it so you know what was printed is true. If you love Diana or just want to find out my about her, I highly recomend this book!

Summary: Really fullfiling book on Di
Review: The first time I decided to read this book was because I have a friend who is very big Diana fan and as he was all the time talking about her so I decided to read the book. This is a book that clears every thing up, in her childhood, adult life before and after marrying charles. In the book We learn how she coped with the problems in her life and what a strong woman she became. Andrew Morton does her credit in this book , and I sudjest it to all Diana or no Diana fans.

Summary: The most moving book Princess Diana fans will EVER read.
Review: The title, simple and honest, is enough to intrique anyone. I laughed, cried, and sighed as read about one of the most extraordinary people of this century, Princess Diana. It is told in an honest, upbeat way. Kudos to Andrew Morton for doing such a wonderful job. I read the orignal book prior to the Princess' death, and enjoyed this one much better. Adding the transcription of the tapes Diana herself "wrote" was an ingenuis idea. I enjoyed the childhood photographs, too. Truely the best autobiography of the decade.
