 The Diana Chronicles July 16, 2008
I really enjoyed this CD about the life of Diana... It seemed to give me closure about her death and unhappy life. Tina Brown gives little known facts about her life and death in a captivating style. It is a natural follow up to other books written about Diana. My only wish was that the book was longer!
May be the best Diana book yet! A must for all Dianaholics. July 8, 2008
From the moment I saw Diana and Charles appear on TV to announce their engagement, I was a Dianaholic. I followed every event in her life, through the sad disintegration of her marriage and her shocking death.
I liked this book because it not only gave a thorough background of Diana's life and family, but it tried to be fair and balanced, which the majority of writing on this subject does not even pretend to do. Diana was not a saint and Brown does not sugar coat her faults. But after reading this book you have a picture of the Princess as a genuinely good person who at a very young age entered a life that few of us can begin to imagine. It is tragic that the Royal Family was unable to appreciate her qualities or to help her mature. Both England and the world would have been a better place if Diana were still here.
I really, truly didn't think it was possible, but when I finished the book, I loved and admired this golden Princess EVEN MORE. June 24, 2008
I hesitated to read this book. Even once I bought it, I put if off for months. I mean, I love Diana SO MUCH it kind of hurts to read about her. Let her rest in peace. And besides, what could this book possibly have to tell me about my beloved heroine that I didn't already know??? But once I opened the cover, I couldn't put it down. I was completely sucked into and enveloped by Diana's luxurious, heart-wrenching, rule-breaking world of love and tragedy. I didn't want the book to end. I really, truly didn't think it was possible, but when I finished the book, I loved and admired this golden Princess EVEN MORE. The book was filled with new insights, info and titbits that every other book and magazine article is lacking. Tina Brown has filled in the missing pieces of Diana's tangled, bittersweet story and made sense of it all - and most of all, she gave us a better grasp of Diana's radiant humanity that has always lurked beneath the royal facade. A must read.
If you're a Diana fan and have read all the others, read this one too! If you haven't read anything else, this one is the best. June 19, 2008
This book is written from the hand of someone who not only knew Diana, but also knew her world. Tina Brown gives the reader a thorough insight into the life of Diana as a young girl and the strange, inverted life of a young woman born to priviledge working as a cleaning woman and nanny. Such was the life Diana lived as a young woman. This book is not gossipy or coy, but seems truthful, factual and very straight forward.
If you are a Diana fan, and were held spellbound by the courtship, marriage, and celebrity of the most famous woman in the world - and don't be ashamed if you are - this book is a must read. I give it five stars for the very good writing mechanics, for the thououghness of Ms Brown's research, and the empathy she has for her subject.
Everything you've always wanted to know... June 13, 2008
This book contains everything, but everything, that you've always wanted to know about Charles and Diana but couldn't be bothered to read at the time. Tina Brown has laid out the whole sad story in all its lurid detail - and what a great read it makes.
