Book Reviews of The Diana Chronicles

Book Review: Brown's Book Copies NBC Tapes "Diana Revealed"- No New Info
Summary: 1 Stars

I suppose it's easy to write a "Chronicle" of Diana's life, after viewing Peter Settlelen's tapes - aired on NBC in 2004, and DVD available on Amazon, when he videoed Diana in over 20 tapes to help her with her public speaking, and Diana bears all from her heart.

In these "Chronicles" literally verbatim from the tapes, only in this text, it puts a sarcastic slant on Diana, her childhood and adult years.

In the tapes Diana spoke of how much she disliked her nannies, as well as things she did. She admitted to "sticking pins under the chair cushion" for one, for another nanny, she "threw her engagement ring down the drain..."

Then Diana spoke about how much all of the Spenser children hated their stepmother "Rain" (they used to call her "Acid Rain") - egged on by her elder sisters after they read the Express (newspaper) that their father married Rain, they persuaded Diana to "sort him out" and Diana slapped her father across the face, saying: "That's from all of us, for hurting us."

Diana also spoke about the man she loved who she called "the best friend she ever had" her bodyguard, the late Barry Mannakee. She said [verbatim] she thought "he was bumped off" when he died as well as how she only saw Prince Charles 13 times before they married, and a LOT more [copied] info.

If you TRULY want to hear about Diana's life, her feelings, betrayals, and all, you're better off buying the DVD - at least you can hear the SAME content - but in the honest, from-the-heart tone that Diana shared from her OWN MOUTH.
