Summary: Diana Her True Story
Review: This book was an astonishing biography about Princess Diana. It gave you insight into the life that she led both privately and in the public eye. The Princess of Wales had a good heart, even from the time she was young. She enjoyed being with people and helping those in need. Diana was also a very generous person and she liked to have fun and laugh. She seemed happy, but underneath she was suffering from depression. I was shocked at what I learned while reading the book. Whenever I pictured The Princess of Wales,I always thought of her smile, but she was really hurting inside. It all started from the disappointment that her parents expressed when she wasn't born a boy, to her bulimia nervosa, and her numerous suicide attempts. Not to mention, she was constantly being criticized by her own husband, family, and the media. I can't imagine being put in the position she was without any words of encouragement or guidance. The author did an excellent job giving examples and supporting his stories with quotes from friends, family, and the Princess herself. His style of writing gave you a greater understanding of what she was going through with very detailed stories and descriptions. There were also pictures throughout the book showing the Princess with her children and doing the things she loved. If you are at all interested in learning about the life of Princess Diana, this book is well worth reading, though at times it can be difficult to follow. It gives you a greater comprehension of her life as well as greater respect for her as a person.

Summary: ATRULEY WONDERFUL BOOK! Worthmore then five pionts!
Review: This book, did jump around a lot, and was not written in the best way, but the satory itself is heart breaking, and I was reading the reviews and some of the people are very cruel hearted. I went through bulimia, and it is a very serious issus and I believe that all the changes around her and the unsupportiveness, from the royal family, and her husband were a factor, not to say that it wasn't also partly her fault, bulimia is a mental desise and you really have to help yourself, and that would be a very hard thing to do with no one supporting her and incuriging her, and before you dismiss this review as corny and stupid, just image you, yourself going through something like that, and as hard you try you just CAN"T break through the self hate, and it's hard it took me a long time to do what I did. I think that this is an amazingly true story and is a must read for anyone with a heart.

Summary: The book that ended it all
Review: This was the book that put the nail in the coffin of the Waleses marriage in 1992. Charles and Diana tried to make a P.R. show of togetherness on an overseas trip shortly after the book's publication and failed miserably. In December of that year, now-former P.M. John Major announced their separation in the House of Commons.This is an interesting read on the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, and about as close as anyone ever got to writing an authorized biography of her life. Only a few years after her death was it revealed that Diana, indeed, made audiotape interviews of herself spilling the Windsor's secrets and passed them to Morton through a third party (so he could never say he interviewed her). The pictures are very interesting and the information on the state of Charles's and Diana's marriage were indeed juicy. A great read.

Summary: A Bible, A Bible, We Have A Bible!
Review: We are so fortunate that Diana had the foresight to get her true story out before she met such an untimely death. And this "gold" edition is updated with the addition of some final chapters that the first edition didn't have in 1992, so the reader can follow Diana's life from birth to death; not just until the break-up of the marriage. If there is only one book to own about Diana's life, this is it! Written (via tape recorder) and edited (by correcting the author's manuscript) by Princess Diana, herself, this is the story to trust. Diana collectors should not be without it.
Rating:
Summary: The best biography of Diana to date.
Review: Well written account of Diana's tragic life, without being maudlin or fawning. Transcripts of audiotapes made by Diana specifically for this book give depth to the biography. Excellent color photographs, many from personal albums belonging to her brother, the present Earl Spencer. Not a one-sided narrative, as the pro-Diana author doesn't attempt to camouflage his subject's faults and failings. He presents a balanced analysis of a deeply troubled young woman whose agonizing ten-year battle with Bulimia Nervosa was triggered by one of many cruel remarks made by Charles. Although scathing, his commentaries on the British royal family's brutal treatment of Diana are unemotional and thoroughly documented. The anachronistic royals are indeed a shockingly inhumane bunch.

Summary: Andrew Morton's Version... or rather, Diana's
Review: With a lot of info and some edting assistance from Princess Diana, Andrew Morton wrote a book that rocked the monarchy. In this book Morton makes Di out to be the poor little princess and Charles is the big bad villian. I never took much of an interest in Diana's life until the horrible car crash and her tragic death. My mother owns a copy of the (this) infamous Morton book, and the pictures are interesting, so I decided to give it a read. This is not a happy book, especially while covering the years of her marriage to Charles. Prince Charles is no saint, but he gets an unfair rap in this book; he's actually a good person with many admirable qualities, and flaws like all of us. Anyway, this book is the portrait of a suicidal bolemic woman married to a physically and emotionally absent man who doesn't give her the love she so desperately craves because his heart belongs to another woman. Poor Di. And did she have to die? David Rehak
