4 comments about Diana: Her New Life.
- I love Andrew Morton's writing style. This is such a touching story. Highly recommended.
- but just as good. This book is an update on Diana since her separation from Charles in 1992 and what the future could hold for Diana as a single woman.
Unfortunately, only a year after her divorce, we got the answer, and it wasn't good.
- Without question, this is a book sympathetic to Diana's side, and justifiably so. The grey-suited eunuchs of Buckingham Palace have never done the monarchy a favor by meddling in the marriages of the royal family. Morton tells the tale of Diana, her remarkable courage and resourcefulness, and her feelings of alienation, in the face of a smear campaign that would have shriveled us lesser mortals. Diana is a flawed, but nevertheless feeling, human being who did not deserve the ill treatment she received at the hands of her prince and his minions. This is an interesting book to read in light of what's happened since the book's publication in 1994. One can believe that Diana's death may not have been an accident.
- I loved this book, I felt as if I was there writing the book as it happened,rather than reading the book years after it happened.

5 comments about Diana: In Pursuit of Love.
- This book talks alot about Diana's pursuit of love and emotional difficulties. She was a very young women when Prince Charles began courting her and she lived what all women her age would believe a fairy tale existance. She was the lucky one who got her prince or so she thought. But along with the Prince came Camilla. Charles took her youth and dignity and anyone in her position would be struggling with the same emotional problems that afflicted Diana. I think the Charles has finally gotten his precious Camilla and on that journey has made a joke of the monarchy. I feel the next King of England should be Prince William, son of Diana.
- This was not the worst book I've ever read, but it certainly was not the best. I felt the author digressed too much throughout the first two-thirds of the book -- which made me lose interest at times. Plus, there really wasn't anything new in this part of the book that hasn't already been published. I felt the author was merely stating facts from other books and tabloids. I also felt he used this book to promote other books he wrote. He kept bragging on and on about all his other books. But when Paul Burrell's book was brought up, well, he wrote about it in a negative manner. Not only did I find that unprofessional, but I read his book and felt it was much better than this book. Anyhow, the last third of this book was much better. The digressing ended and the topics became interesting. No more bashing. No more self-promoting. Instead, facts and theories into Princess Diana's final days were quite interesting. If it wasn't for this part of the book, I would have said I wasted my time. Lastly, the best part of the book was the epilogue. It was emotionally touching.
- This book has all the old stuff everyone already knew. Morton must be lacking of money that's why he is trying to make some out of the poor princess. Please do not waste your money on this book. Please do not waste your time and money
- I own and have read practically every book ever written about Princess Diana, including all of Andrew Morton's books about her. This one was well-researched and written, and he obviously cares a great deal about his subject matter. However, I feel that he strays from the title the overall intent of this book: Diana in Pursuit of LOVE. He re-hashes many old details, and therefore much of this book's content is superfluous and simply makes it TOO LONG WINDED. I knew all of those old details! It took me forever and a day to get through it, which is not usually the case. My other complaint is Morton's obviously personal vendetta towards Paul Burrell. I happened to love Burrell's book "A Royal Duty" and do completely believe his account on life with the princess. Morton obviously has a personal bone to pick with Burrell, yet Morton was the only one who chose to use his book to air their problems publicly. Otherwise, I'm glad that Morton is keeping Diana "alive" by writing about her; I just hope that his future novels, if any, are shorter and stick to the main subject.
- Once again Andrew Morton provides readers with a highly personal look at a very human princess. From her temperamental faults to her unfulfilled hunger for affection, he gives a frank and accurate portrait of the world's most admired - and missed - woman. The world is a poorer place without Diana, and may she rest in peace. The fact that Diana herself never knew how very much she WAS loved is yet another tragedy of her untimely death
