I personally found the book to be informative, it didn't change the way I perceive the DRF, whilst I gr8ly admire the DRF, it is quite comforting to know that the royals are human. I personally find the "we are perfect" biographies to be quite unauthentic, and uninspiring.

The book has arrived, signed by the Author, which was a nice touch
I haven't got round to reading it yet but I've scanned over it briefly, and haven't yet made up my mind what I think of it.

Well I have noe read the book, I have to say I wasn't overly impressed, I found it tabloid like and at times not very professionally written. The author gave too much personal opinion and it was to say the least limited in it's authority. 2 out of 10 would be a fair mark for a below average book.

Wasn't Trine a journalist before she wrote the book?
The fact that she gave "too much of her own opinion" is not surprising, her own opinion is all she has to be quite honest.

I mean "too much of her own opinion" as in no facts all opinion, it was not like other royal biographes

Not when the book is marketed as being a reliable source of truths. Non. The author continuously passed off her opinion as a credible reference. It is not.
