Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
August 31 will mark the first anniversary of the death of the Princess of Wales, and of the many books published to commemorate that tragic event (or at least to rekindle public interest in Diana's life and times), this one will undoubtedly attract the most attention. It is written by the personal assistant to Dodi Al Fayed, Diana's boyfriend with whom she died on that night in Paris a year ago. Born and raised in Morocco, Delorm also lived in Canada before immigrating to the U.S. He eventually became a waiter at the famous Spago restaurant in L.A., where he built up quite a reputation for excellent service to celebrities. He came to the attention of Dodi, who was living in California at the time, and was hired as his household assistant in 1990. Delorm was devoted to his boss, and when the Princess of Wales came into Dodi's life, over the course of their short-lived affair, Delorm quickly came to adore Diana for her beauty and generosity. And, curiously enough, he insists that "as the one witness to their love affair from start to tragic finish, I believe with all my heart that they would have married, and soon." See also two other books on Diana, one by Georgina Howell, the other by Michael Levine, reviewed together on p.1956. Brad Hooper

2.0 out of 5 stars Diana & Dodi: A Lust Story, August 16, 1999
By A Customer
A supremely sycophantic book "written" by Dodi's boy Friday (butler, valet, masseure, personal trainer, gofer...). All the perfumed prose cannot hide the skeleton of the story: two people who'd seen each other for about six weeks, dated seriously for about four of those, and were united in their stuffed animals and living well off of other people's money. No mention is made of Dodi's fiance, who was stashed on a nearby yacht during the first two weeks of D&D's six week "love" affair. This is definitely the Fayed public version of what happened between mid July and August 31, 1999.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book on Diana, July 31, 2005
By Danny Matthews (Lake City Sc) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Diana and Dodi A Love Story, November 18, 2000
By A Customer
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.
