Rating: Summary: Same Old stuff, nothing new!!! don't buy it Review: This book has all the old stuff everyone already knew. Morton must be lacking of money that's why he is trying to make some out of the poor princess. Please do not waste your money on this book. Please do not waste your time and money
Rating: Summary: Good, but definitely one sided Review: This book has been called "the longest divorce petition in history", and when you read it, you would have to agree with that statement. But what you have to remember is that at the time when Diana agreed to co-operate with Mr Morton, she was feeling sad, lonely, and unhappy, but she was never allowed to express that publicly. She was unhappy with her life, unhappy with her royal image, and most of all, unhappy with her marriage, yet she couldn't do what anyone else in that situation would be able to do - she couldn't visit a local solicitor and obtain a divorce. Poor woman, she couldn't even go to the gym without being followed by a throng of photographers. When this book was published in 1992, it was dismissed by the establishemnt as being a pack of lies, but ultimately they, and the public too, discovered that it wasn't when Charles admitted his infidelity with the redoubtably ugly and gauche Camilla Parker Bowles, and when, in her astonishingly frank Panorama interview, Diana candidly shared the harrowing details of her eating disorder, bulimia. This book succeeded on many levels. It certainly exposed the shocking truth about the Royal marriage and portrayed the Royal Family, for the first time ever, not as cherished icons but as ordinary individuals with more than their share of character defects (and this means Diana, too!) But it ultimately succeeded in its portrayal of an immature twenty year old girl, who won the hearts of the world when she kissed the Prince, only to have him become a toad, to the beautiful, compassionate symbol of kindness, caring, and humanity that she was when she was so tragically snatched away from the world. For it was the publication of this book that enabled Diana to seek a new life for herself, and in doing so she developed the character traits that enabled us all to fall in love her, this time more completely, again and again and again.
Rating: Summary: This IS Diana's Book Review: This book is probably the foremost and authoritative book on who the real and true Diana, Princess of Wales was. Just as Candle in the Wind is her song, this IS Diana's book. I give this book 5 stars because this is historically accurate biographical information told by the woman that was behind it from the beginning, Diana. This is a classic biography.
Rating: Summary: Learn how to write Review: This book is very poorly writen
Rating: Summary: Fulfilling, if one-sided, biography Review: This book lays bare Diana's marriage difficulties with Charles. One is left with the question--why did they ever marry? (It's obvious from the book that Charles never stopped loving Camilla). One bright spot of this book is how Morton shows Diana's growing social awareness--she really comes into her own in this arena. Her devotion to one AIDS patient is particularly revealing. The one shortcoming of this book is that the victim bit is really played out; it is obvious on several occasions (particularly in her relations with the royal family) that you are only hearing one side of the story. But otherwise, this book is well worth it.
Rating: Summary: wow!!! Review: This book left me totally breathless. It shines a whole new light on the princess' life. It leaves you full of sorrow, understanding, and love for such a strong and great person.
Rating: Summary: Diana's story Review: This book makes you realize that Diana's life is anything but a fairytale, and it had many endless possabilities. We will always love you greatly....
Rating: Summary: Quite eye-opening! Review: This book really makes one wonder why Diana endured with as much as she did, especially when she had her suspicions before her wedding. Makes one wonder what the true hidden agenda for both really was. "Hats-off" to an author who appears to get at the "heart of the matter", and seemingly very honestly done.
Rating: Summary: Great, if you're a fan of Diana's Review: This book tells the story of Diana, Princess of Wales through her own eyes. It shows that she is vulnerable, just like everyone. Diana may not have been an angel, but she did deserve to have happiness which she sought her entire marriage. This books walks the reader through her early childhood years through her tragic death. It shows some honesty in the pain which she felt from her parents' divorce and later, Camilla Parker-Bowles. Anyone who is a fan of Princess Diana will sympathize along with the book. There are wonderful photographs of Diana during her childhood, with her sons and the final poignant picture of her coffin adorned with roses and a card saying "Mummy" scrawled by Prince Harry.
