"I cannot believe this level of brain power directed at the quandry of Lady Di and Prince Charles. Bradford is a top notch biographer and she culls information from all these brilliant people analyzing these miserable ass incompatible people and their various courtiers. Brrrrr, so cold. "
— Jennifer (5 out of 5 stars)
" This was well written and very informative...Diana had such a sad life on the whole - loneliness and insecurity despite her great beauty and compassion for the less fortunate. The world lost a great force for good. "
— Liz, 1/11/2014" Wow...what a complex, amazing, beautiful, unreachable, lady... yet such a REAL person in her experience, joys and sufferings...such a painfully "human" woman...I really connected with her by reading this fascinating book about her life. Highly recommend it. "
— Susanna, 1/8/2014" A very interesting study of Diana, her early life and on becoming the wife of Prince Charles. "
— Jan, 12/30/2013" I liked this book because it was unlike other books I have read about Princess Diana's life. This book explores all angles, explains the factors, and all sides to the story in Diana's ascend to throne as England's Princess. "
— Ashley, 12/13/2013" Did enjoy it, gave me a new perspective on the royal family "
— Marianne, 12/12/2013" I cannot believe this level of brain power directed at the quandry of Lady Di and Prince Charles. Bradford is a top notch biographer and she culls information from all these brilliant people analyzing these miserable ass incompatible people and their various courtiers. Brrrrr, so cold. "
— Jennifer, 11/22/2013" What a crazy story. If I could sum up Diana's life in one word it would be DRAMA. She was a very interesting character/person who I kind of feel sad for. Her life was far from the fairy tale it was hoped to be. "
— Jamie, 11/20/2013" Interesting book but very biased in Diana's favor. So, only three stars. If you want a more balanced view of Diana, try Tina Brown's biography The Diana Chronicles . "
— Leigh, 11/10/2013" This is a solid biography. Well-written, compelling, and even-handed. "
— Rachel, 11/1/2013" A solid and detailed biography on Princess Diana. It isn't personal in the way that Paul Burrell's is, but it reiterates many of the things he talks about and is more objective. "
— Leslie, 11/1/2013" Having read the Morton and Brown books, as well as the Junor and Dimbleby books about Charles, I have to disagree with reviewers who found this book anything but evenhanded. "
— Cece, 10/18/2013" of course i love all things Diana...every since i was a little girl she was my princess of choice, beautiful, graceful, kind, and she put up with a lot of crap...and raised some good boys. "
— Bree, 9/2/2013" I like Diana and that influenced me to read this book and really it was not bad. "
— I, 8/18/2013" A great biography of one of the greatest icons of the 20th century. "
— Isfand, 5/31/2013" Well, I didn't know anything before and now... I know way too much. "
— Rebekah, 12/12/2012" I never really had an interest in the Royal Family until I visited London. This book seemed fairly balanced, and I am struck by how tragic her story was. "
— Kate, 12/4/2012" Most enjoyable reading, however Diana had a tragic life - interesting! "
— Vahli, 11/10/2012" This was an interesting read. Sarah Bradford took a hard look at Diana's life in a way that isn't the fairy tale gone wrong scenario. Diana definitely had some problems and Charles wasn't any prize either. It's a tragic tale and just reinforces my gratitude for my simple life. "
— Mary, 7/24/2012" Didn't care for what seemed to me to be a negative attitude of the author toward Princess Diana. "
— Kristine, 3/28/2012" The best book about the princess so far... "
— Dana, 2/24/2012" A solid and evenhanded biography of a very complicated subject. Sarah Bradford is an excellent royal biographer well suited to tackle the late Princess of Wales. By the end, the reader will have a full look at a cast of characters that, in the end, all look tragic. "
— Christopher, 8/29/2011" What a crazy story. If I could sum up Diana's life in one word it would be DRAMA. She was a very interesting character/person who I kind of feel sad for. Her life was far from the fairy tale it was hoped to be. "
— Jamie, 3/22/2011" A great biography of one of the greatest icons of the 20th century. "
— Isfand, 1/23/2011" Fantastic read. Bradford covers the full spectrum of pros and cons for the sagas of Diana and Charles. Wonderfully insightful. "
— Ellen, 3/13/2009" Interesting book but very biased in Diana's favor. So, only three stars. If you want a more balanced view of Diana, try Tina Brown's biography <u> The Diana Chronicles </u>. "
