2.0 out of 5 stars The author writes and rambles about Prince William., March 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Prince William: The Boy Who Will Be King (Mass Market Paperback)

It indicates that this is an unauthorized biography which was published two months before Prince William's mother's tragic death. I don't think William's father or mother or any member of the Royal Family would have authorized this book.

One does not give a chapter the title, "Birth and Circumstances," and then, ramble on for almost three pages about three good looking young teenagers - two brunettes and a blonde - walking along a street near Eton.

I did not see this book until I purchased several memorial books on Diana, Princess of Wales. If one has not kept up with Prince William or if one does not collect books about the Royal Family, this book is fair. Personally, I would NOT have bought it except for my collection.

The pictures are good, but old. This book is paperback and contains one hundred thirty-nine pages in addition to a two page genealogy of "The Royal Line from Queen Victoria to the Presnt? and a page which contains a record of Prince William's birth.

3.0 out of 5 stars I'VE SEEN BETTER..., July 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Prince William: The Boy Who Will Be King (Mass Market Paperback)

Of course, anything with even a picture of Willaim in it, has to be AT LEAST ok, but this book didn't go much past ok. The pictures were so old, and although it looked like a good book from it's cover, it wasn't all it's cracked up to be. The reading was slow, boring, and didn't have good information. Most of the facts I already knew from magazines and other books, but I will say there were a few new facts in it. There are much better Prince William books out there, so i don't reccomend buying this unless you collect books on him or something like that. Thanks for listening, and William, good luck because your going to need it!

2.0 out of 5 stars dribble and slop, August 18, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Prince William: The Boy Who Will Be King (Mass Market Paperback)

I felt like I was reading Tiger Beat or 16; one of those magazines that only glorify people because of how they look and encourage young girls to obsess and stalk the objects of their affection. If that's what you're looking for, then this is the book for you. Otherwise, if you want facts, real facts, and intelligent arguments about this remarkable boy's life, look elsewhere.
