aotora 's review for:
Diana: Her True Story In Her Own Words
by Andrew Morton
This one was a great biogrpahy, at least compared to the one her butler wrote. The author told the story wonderfully, the parts they chose to tell were well picked, and so were the pictures they chose to add into the book.
I knew some things about Diana, her life as a royal and her unhappy marriage to prince Charles but this book really sheds the light on it. Charles was a selfish, spoiled child and the entire royal family was just.. so rigid and horrible and the way they treated Diana and her mental/health problems with bulimia and anxiety was just so hard to read.
I also love that this book focuses on all the good and charitable work Diana did, she should be remembered as one of the greatest humanitarians of all time and one of the warmest people who wasn't rigid and who knew how to talk to people that are not a part of the system.
She was a great human being and she deserved to have her story told.
The only thing that bugged me was how repetitive this book could get. One part of her story gets told and some 100 pages later/chapters later it's repeated word for word like her feeling sick and fainting and Charles saying that she should do so in privacy if she must faint, and "they were like a bad rash" - that phrase was used so many times that it got really, really annoying really, really fast.
