5.0 out of 5 stars I've read every Diana book published, and this is one of the best., 23 Aug 2007
By Rebecca Winter "winter reader" (SOUTH PERTH, WA Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Diana (Paperback)
So many of the books written on Diana have glaringly obvious errors, but this one is different. Sarah Bradford has thoroughly researched her subject, and presents a very balanced view of the Princess. In years to come if my grandchildren want to know about Diana Princess of Wales, this is the book I will tell them to read. The book shows both sides of the Princess, she was a very human Princess and that is why she was so loved, and it's important that history knows this. I can highly recommend Sarah Bradfords book, and knowing how well researched and detailed the book is, it makes me want to read more of Sarahs books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Detailed and fascinating, 10 Jan 2007
This review is from: Diana (Hardcover)
As someone who knew a bit about Diana but not a whole lot, I found this book thorough, in-depth, interesting and well written. Ms. Bradford obviously spent a long time researching and writing the book and it shows. It is not biased and varies between being sympathetic towards Diana and also mentioning her faults and areas in her life she may have made mistakes (such as the Panorama interview in 1995). It is quite critical of Charles during his affair with Camilla but also critical of Diana's dealings with James Hewitt, among others.
I especially like the way the book outlines the last few hours of Diana's life using the known facts rather than focusing on conspiracy theories or speculation. The book celebrates the life of one of the most famous women of our lifetime and, in my opinion, ticks all the boxes for someone wanting every detail of Diana's life, from her birth to her tragic death in 1997. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Readable, new material, well researched, 5 Dec 2006
This review is from: Diana (Hardcover)
Definitely one I would recommend. Well researched, without the glaring errors a few less well researced Diana biogs have. Sarah Bradford has a good reputation as a biographer anyway so is obviously not one just to go for a slap dash quick buck with that reputation to consider.

Well written and enjoyable. Even handed and considered, has some new revelations in it but is not sensationalist. Although one of the other viewers complains about 'unnamed sources' in this case it seemed to me more like contributors who didn't want to give their name because of links to the subject and the stigma attached rather than a 'tabloid trick'.

As it is comprehensive, entertaining and extremely readable this would be a good book for anyone from a Diana buff to a relative newbie to Diana's story.
