2.0 out of 5 stars
Not worth much,
This review is from: Interpreting Diana: Television Audiences and the Death of a Princess (Distributed for the British Film Institute) (Paperback)
I had to read this book for a school assignment. A history assignment more specifically. The writer is intelligent but the read is pretty much worthless. It might have some value to some sections of sociology but it isn't much for history. It is still to soon to analyze whether or not this funeral had or will have any impact on society.
