I didn't expect to like this book as much as I did. It's been thoroughly reviewed and rated on sites like Amazon and Goodreads, with a 4.5 rating on Amazon (based on more than $100K ratings) and a 3.8 rating on Goodreads (based on nearly a half million ratings). Everyone seems to have an opinion on the royal family, so I'm not going to rehash all of that. What I will say is that I enjoyed reading Prince Harry's viewpoint about his childhood, adult life and career, and decision to walk away from his role as a working royal. Many of the negative reviews complained that he was whiney; however, I didn't find that to be the case, or at least I wasn't bothered by the times he noted an unfairness or being treated poorly. What I did particularly like was his account of his military service, which I found fascinating. And I loved the writing, which is largely due to the ghost writing of J.R. Moehringer. The writing is elegant in places, and very readable; I found myself flying through this book in just a few days. I really enjoy memoirs, and this one is definitely worth a try.
