The Best Book on Diana

I found this book to be the best Diana book I have read. I do belive this story. I think Diana and Dodi did care for each other and I think Rene is telling it like he saw it. the book lets you see the personal side of Diana as well as Dodi.the book also tells you what happened the night of the crash. this book is the only book on Diana that I did not get bored with.a great love story.

One of the sweetest Diana books - a delightful read.

I've probably read all or nearly all the books on Diana. Somehow I'd missed this one until a friend gave it to me as a gift. While I didn't give it 5 stars for its great literary qualities, I thought that for Diana fans, it delightfully delivered the goods - it is a pleasing intimate portrait with plenty of detail (food, clothes, toiletries, habits) yet with a real sense of affection, humor and respect. Setting this apart from most Diana books is the uniquely likeable voice of the narrator. Delorm is a class act, a man who respected and liked his boss, Dodi Fayed, and who seems to view everyone from his wealthy employer to his fellow cooks, butlers and masseuses with generosity of spirit and an open mind. This is a refreshing contrast with the self serving busybody tone of Patrick Jephson's Diana book, or any of the royal "experts" who simultaneously envy, fawn and snipe.The author's joie de vivre and eye for detail turn this book into a lovely little vacation on a yacht, along with two people we might have enjoyed knowing very much. And unlike many books published after their deaths, it does not lay on the pathos, but instead is more of a celebration. All in all, this is an intimate book you can enjoy without feeling like a voyeur, and a very welcome read for anyone who misses Diana. She sounds like a lot of fun. A great escape read in these glamour-free times. Highly recommended.

Diana and Dodi A Love Story

This book was very warm, discreet and also revealing of a mgical romance. Anyone that loves Diana will be extremely happy with this book.In this book you can feel that Diana is being a real person- happy, smiling, laughing, eating, and falling in love, relaxing- an image she never got by hundreds of people- it is sad that her life was cut so short. She was a lovely, gracious woman who left way to early in life. Her time with Dodi- was to start a lifetime of romance that was ever so sweet. that was cut very short too.Now we will never know if they were to ever marry or not.I am a greatful of Rene for sharing his memories with the world of Diana- allowing people to see and to hear about her romance.

Wonderful

Warm, graceful, discreet and also revealing rendering of a magical romance. Anyone who loves Diana will be extremely happy with this book, and learn to love Dodi as well.

THIS BOOK IS INTERESTING AND A QUICK READ

I have started collecting all books on Princess Diana lately and have found some better than others. This book was truly a joy to read. It kept your interest and the story kept moving without any confusion. You are reading a book involving a rotation of character names and locations - would be easy to get lost. But surprisely I found the story to keep moving and very easy to read. Can even get a little emotional at a couple of places. The only negative might be the reference to this 'great love'. I don't want to make the call on that - let alone after only 37 days of starting up the relationship. I found it interesting that rumor had it Dodi was on another boat with his girlfriend when he went to his fathers boat and met up with Diana. Basically leaving the other, and or two timing them both. Rumor I know but nothing of reference was mentioned - and this man is the man that knew him the best.All and all a good book. Touching.
