i have mixed feelings about this book. on the one hand, Harry has undergone some seriously rough stuff—and both he and Megan have been abused by the press. no doubt. and the family dynamics? not good. his treatment of his military service, which i know has been controversial, struck me more as long-winded than distasteful.
on the other hand, and the bigger issue for me, is this: Harry strikes me as having serious victim and inferiority complexes, which he doesn’t seem to recognize. he also does not at all seem to recognize the privileges he’s been given… which makes him a rather unreliable narrator.
it was an informative read… sometimes with too many details. and sometimes with details i don’t know if i can trust.
