This should be prescribed reading!

Spare sweeps behind the scenes of Prince Harry's troubled life to give us an amazing glimpse into the real world of a prince: the privilege, the fame, the adventures alongside the doubts, endless questions, hurt and the constant contradictions of his existence. Some of it is just eye-popping in its content.

In a truly engaging narrative, Harry takes us chronologically through some frank admissions, through key developments of his growth and maturity, and the angs of being a perpetual shadow to his brother in a cold, emotionless environment, devoid of hugs and love. This is a story without apologies or fear, told in a way that makes the book difficult to put down once you start it, because it gives the incredible feeling of knowing the person without knowing him at all, as he gradually reveals himself. It's nothing like the negative hype in the press.

There's something in it for every reader, no matter who they are. I would read 10 books by Harry. He's a natural storyteller, trying to find his own way and truths underneath the different layers of pain. This should be prescribed reading!

Bought as a joke to put on coffee table

The book was bought to put on coffee table as a joke. I read excerpts from it and decided he was simply an ungrateful whinger. I waited until price dropped and can't fault the condition or service. Pity about the author.Read full review...

Good read in spare time.

The book seemed in brand new condition so was a bargain, I am not particularly a fan of the Prince and read some excerpts in the newspapers. But it's an interesting read about someone who, obviously, is often in the public eye. A good volume to keep for posterity. Read full review...

A real insight into Prince Harry's life

I found this book very enthralling. I simply could not put it down. It was so interesting to hear Prince Harry talking about his life from his childhood right up to the present. I found Prince Harry to be open and honest about his life. Read full review...

I felt shocked!

Reading prince Harry's autobiography I felt shocked at some points.for instance prince William didn't want to know Harry when they were at school.also the media had said that Megan made Kate cry when it was the other way around.prince has been unhappy for a long time and his brother and Harry was never really close as again the media tried to portray.some of what harry wrote was a eye opener to be sure!Read full review...

What the firm didn’t want us to know

This book is an open footer to the royals showing that the senior royals and their senior officials can manipulate the story going out. It also shows that journalists will toe the line putting out there versions of the facts as they know if they get cut off by the firm they are basically out or a job. This book flies in the face of this.Read full review...

Harry - spare

I found the style of writing didn't make for an easy read. It was very stilted and a bit all over the place making it difficult to follow. Very petty at times. I didn't finish it as I found I was getting very bored with it/Read full review...
