God Save the Queen: Monarchy and the Truth About the Windsors

Rating:
Summary: dreadful
Review: Derivative and unimaginative this book adds little to the debate about the monarchy. Reading like an extended undergraduate essay, it relies too heavily on secondary material and exposes Hari to the allegation that he has only written it to advance his career in journalism.
There are simply better books to read on the subject and should you feel an urge to explore Hari's opinion on the subject he has repeated it in both The Independent and The New Statesman (both articles were in fact almost verbatim copies of each other).
No wonder that John Pilger referred to him as a "non-journalist"

Rating:
Summary: A masterpiece
Review: I laughed so hard my gut ached when I read this book. It is a witty, extremely well-researched investigation into the monarchy, both intellectually stimuling and filled with gossip. The reviews were right. This is a must-read.

Summary: I loved this book.
Review: Original, funny, a brilliant book by a brilliant journalist. It's been praised by people as wildly different as Janet Street-Porter, Christopher Hitchens, Julie Burchill, Victor Lewis-Smith and AN Wilson. They're right!

This book is hilarious and a joy. The other reviewer is pretty obviosuly just bitter, Harri has been very successful very young, but on the evidence of this book and his writing in the Independent he seems to genuinely deserve it.
