5.0 out of 5 starsan even-handed account of one of the most fascinating stories of our times
By Amelrode VINE VOICE on 8 Oct. 2006
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Princess Diana is properly one of the most, if not the most known personality of our times. We have all our own recollections of her life. I had been in the crowds when she married the PoW and I had been in London during the days of her funeral. In one way or the other she had an impact on us. Many books had been written about her - some just presenting her side of the sotory, other of course the one of the PoW and more recently just books trying to make money of her name by selling so-called secrets. Still unresolved what really happened in Paris as the investigations are still on-going. Of course, the marriage of the PoW and CBP revivded much of the controversy.

So is this one of the typical books on Diana? NO it is not. For the first time an author tries to gibe as mcuh as possible an even handed account. Sarah Bradford achieves this. She is neither besotted by Diana, nor is she against her. She recognizes her extraordinary qualities without forgetting the darkes sides. The same applies to the PoW. Reading this remarkable account of Diana's life one feesl the drama, the emotions, the happiness, the sadness. Diana4s and Charles's incompatibility is exposed but not in terms of pointing the finger to one side. It is qn extraordinary story and one often wonders why all this had to happen. This books gives explanations and creates understanding. It gives one as well an insdie into the life and morals of the 3upper classes3. Judge for yourself. It is definetely worthwhile reading.

From all the books I have read insofar on Diana I feel that this is by far one of the best. It does justice to all involved.

5.0 out of 5 starsI've read every Diana book published, and this is one of the best.
By Rebecca Winter on 23 Aug. 2007
Format: 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 starsExcellent
By SusieQ on 23 Feb. 2007
Format: Hardcover
I have to admit, I was afraid to read this biography because I thought it was going to be very much "oh, poor Diana, thrown to the wolves", but to my surprise and delight, this biography is well researched, and I think very fair to both Diana and the people around her, and her relationships with them. Sarah Ferguson, Prince Charles, Diana's parents, etc., are all portrayed in shades of grey, not all black or all white, which is fair. Most importantly, the book shows the good and the bad sides of Diana, so it is a fair portrait of her, also. I especially like the fact that the author was able to emphasize something I've always felt, too: Diana was very much "alone", in the sense of never coming first with anyone (except, with her sons). And of course once she became world-famous, she never had a fighting chance. Her family or friends were either dazzled or dismayed by her, but she was irrevocably damaged by her childhood and she never quite understood (nor did anyone around her) how to resolve that.

I recommend this book with Sally Bedell Smith's (which is less sympathetic but equally good) as the only two books to date that best reveal the true Diana, all her good points and her flaws; why she was the way she was, and the tragedy that followed from that.

5.0 out of 5 starsReadable, new material, well researched
By Sally on 5 Dec. 2006
Format: 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.

5.0 out of 5 starsEven-handed and very readable
By Lisa on 29 Mar. 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Excellent book. Sarah Bradford is even-handed in her account, acknowledging Diana's numerous talents at the same time as she uncovers the darkness that dogged her. The book is detailed and well-written, but not in the least gossipy: Bradford contextualises her information and writes what amounts to the compassionate account of an important but unhappy public person. While this is definitely not a book for the crowd that just want dirt, I would recommend it for anyone who remembers Diana or wants to know more about her and her career. Fundamental.

5.0 out of 5 starsDetailed and fascinating
By Anne on 10 Jan. 2007
Format: 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.
