A review by jumbledjess
Spare by Prince Harry

informative medium-paced

3.0

For this I have to recommend listening to it on audio. The Spare is pretty long and some of the chapters take awhile to get through, so listening to it definitely helped me stay engaged in the story. This really drives home the narrative of having immense privilege but not having the support to seek the help that someone feels they need. Multiple times in the book Prince Harry mentions his severe anxiety but feels that he can’t do anything about it without being judged, or going to the doctor when he has an ailment for fear of what the press will print, or even pushing back on the press when they post unsavory stories. Overall, this was fine and wasn’t anything new if you happened to have watched his Netflix special.
