alex_readsbooks 's review for:
Spare
by Prince Harry
3.5/5
I don’t even know where to start with this review because I have so many feelings and opinions about it. I felt overall it painted a detailed picture about Harry’s life, his love for his family and country, and his relationship with Meghan while also anecdotally describing how each of those aspects and experiences were ruined and/or affected by the press. I mostly believe it to be a good book, but I likely would’ve been bored if I hadn’t listened to him reading it. And I think there was maybe a little too much detail on the states of his “todger.”
I think so many people thought this book was an attack on the Royal Family, but I really don’t think it was. Despite the conflict Harry describes, by the end I believe he still has a lot of love for them (maybe omitting Camilla). Rather, I think this is a detailed account on how the press — and the Royals’ relationship with the press — have eventually come between him and his brother and father.
It is shocking to me how paparazzi aren’t illegal. If anyone else were following someone around, taking pictures of them, or trying to sneak onto their property for a glance or snapshot they would be accused of stalking. But because paps are paid for it, it’s not wrong? I don’t want to hear any “they are famous, they asked for it” because regardless people deserve to feel safe and secure and private, especially in their own homes.
Any other details I will leave to you to decide for yourself. There are too many details to go over in one review, but it is definitely worth a read even if the Royals aren’t your thing.
