Book Reviews of Diana: Her True Story in Her Own Words
Book Review: The book that ended it all
Summary: 4 Stars
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 to South Korea 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: 4 Stars
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!Book Review: Diana Her True Story
Summary: 3 Stars
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.Book Review: Diana Her True Story in Her Own Words

this book was awesome. I never knew who Diana was untill she died, but now I love her. I found our by reading this book that I am very much like her when she was young. It's a good book for a Diana fan. It's wonderful how it was her talking in the begining and then it began her story. I would definitly read this again. Wonderful.
