 Lovely memories October 10, 2006

I bought this and a Royal Duty for myself to see exactly what was so bad about Diana that Paul had written .Well the answer is nothing ,no one in their right mind could be upset at the things he has written .I found the book to be full of charming titbits about their life in KP and the photos of Dianas rooms very haunting, especially the sofa full of soft toys ,made me feel so sorry for her.How the media can vilify Paul Burrell the way they have done astounds me but then thats the papers for you!Makes me think even more how hypocritical they are, considering the way they go about their business.If you want to remember Diana and know the nitty gritty things of her everyday life this will not disappoint you.
Reflections worth pondering; hard to put down September 18, 2006

I forced myself to read Paul Burrell's second book, and went into it with a cynical mindset, expecting not to like it one bit. I struggled to accept that there could be anything new in yet another book on Diana and questioned his motives for writing it. But his words, insight and new information turned me round, and it was such an enjoyable, hard-to-put-down read. I feel the opening chapter, Back Home, struggles a bit, revisiting KP in a similar way that we did through the pages of A Royal Duty. But then the book gets going, finds its pace and rattles along. I found the photographs of inside 'KP' absolutely fascinating and this is, once again, a beautifully written book that does nothing but a service to the memory of Diana. Paul Burrell isn't the only one who loved and still misses our finest royal - but he is the only one shouting in her memory and for this book and this tribute, we should thank him. Ron, Eastbourne
Another Great Tribute to Diana Princess of Wales November 21, 2009

This book is a follow up on The Royal Duty by Paul Burel; a great tribute to Diana Princess of Wales, whose memory can never be removed from my mind. Thanks Paul for writting this book.
A pleasant book, well written. February 6, 2007

There won't really be anything in here looking for scandal, but it is an interesting read because you get an intimate view of Diana. The only thing I would question is the use of pictures from Diana's apartment taken just after her death. I thought that was an invasion too far into her privacy and that of her sons. Having read Burrell's previous books I am sure this was done with goodwill, even if it is misjudged.
Harsh criticism, beautiful memories. September 26, 2006

Once again, you need to read this book to judge it properly, and realise that its media portrayal is a travesty of the truth. Burrell has come in for some harsh stick for daring to write this evident tribute, and yet it is a collection of beautiful memories which, far from betraying the memory of Diana, actually does her a service. There are some overlaps with A Royal Duty but there's also a lot new and a lot to like: it's well written, rattles along and is a definite page-turner. I found the chapter 'Wisdoms from Kensington' particularly fascinating as an insight into the mind of Diana, and how she thought. The book has a slow start but it does build up and gather momentum. It can't be compared to A Royal Duty because that was a very different book. The Way We Were does exactly what it sets out to do - it remembers Diana, and it remembers her vividly.
br /Paul deserves congratulating for this work, not criticising.
