2.0 out of 5 stars This is fun reading, but not very accurate., March 15, 1999

By A Customer

This book is neither authorized nor endorsed by Prince William or the Royal Family, and I doubt very seriously that it would ever be endorsed by them. This book can be read easily in fifteen minutes or less. I bought this book ONLY because I collect books on the Royal Family.

The pictures of Prince William are great as in the one on page 28 which pictures him with her brother - Prince Harry, as well as, the one on page 35 with his brother and her father. All of these pictures have been in British magazines and in some American magazines to which I subsrcibe.

There's nothing new here except for the inaccuries. Everyone knows that Prince William is left-handed if one's has ever looked at his signing in at Eton while his mother, father, and brother watch. Prince William has many, many nicknames which have been given to him by his family and his friends but are not mentioned. If one has done any reading at all, the individual knows everything in this book and more. It is a known fact that Prince William is the most handsome Royal ever, that he is extremely intelligent, that her is very atheletic and excels in many sports, that he possesses his mother's charm and poise, and that he is artistic.

As I have said previously, I bought this book only because of my collection of books. This is one book which was written purely to make money. This is a paperback book

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful! William never looked better!, June 7, 1999

By A Customer

I really enjoyed reading The Journey to the throne. I was very please with the contents of this book. I thought it couldn't be more full of information about the king of our hearts. I hope Walters continues to write. She is very talented.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good pictures, but not very accurate., July 23, 1998

By A Customer

This book was just OK...it hardly had any words. I think that if you are only interested in William for his looks, and just want a "fan" book, you'd enjoy it. But, if your really interested in him as a person, you might not like it as much.
