1 comments about Sir William Wallace (The Scotish Histories).

1. I found this book a good source of knoledge put together from several other accounts. I have found that every author has a slightly diffrent account of the legand of William Wallace. This book puts those accounts together in a way that it gets the facts and legands to the reader in a fairly non-predjudice manor.

3 comments about Diana: An Intimate Portrait 1961-1997.

1. This is the best book on Diana ever written.There are a lot of great "picture books", but this tells great details about her life(as we all thought it was)If my house was on fire,and I could only grab one of my MANY Diana books,this would be it.7,000 stars,five does not do it justice!!



2. This book has pictures that I've not seen elsewhere. It also has interesting descriptions of Diana's home, indepth information about her working day, and insights on her personality.

   The most pleasing thing about this book is that it is unbiased. I am also glad that it is straight-forward with no mud-slinging and no sensationalism. Unlike Princess Diana books coming into bookstores in the near future, this book does not cheapen her memory.




3. This was going to be the only book I was going to buy after Diana's death, since I have been collecting books, etc. written about her since 1981. I bought it, read it, and found it to be so incredibly out-dated and full of lies (pre-Andrew Morton bulemia confession, etc.) that I returned it to the store to get my money back.

2 comments about Diana: A Portrait in Her Own Words.

1. If you have read the more popular books about Diana, or watched any news coverage of her throughout her life, you have already read this book. There are many quotes from Andrew Morton's "Diana: Her True Story" as well as Diana's infamous Panorama interview. Most of the other quotes seem to be taken out of random small talk conversations and provide little insight.



2. It's longer than most books of quotes from the Princess because Mr Adler presents the sweet and the sour.

   The loving, the difficulties and the humor of Diana in her own words

   People say those who love Diana believe she was a saint. No, she was far too interesting for that.

   She's loved because she was entirety and gloriously human , and allowed it to show.

   We are all works in progress. But imagen being the Priness of Wales and yet insisting on being yourself as well?

   This book covers the terrain well
