Spare

h_g_9388 shared a tip "I very much enjoyed the this book; as a bonus I got myself the audio and was able to listen to his voice. A few thoughts: 1) his grief over his loss of his mother was overwhelming…it transcends the pages of the book. 2) The book gives an inside view to the monarchy but doesn’t really spill a lot of details about Charles, William. There are some less than flattering stories, but nothing worse than has already been written in the British press. 3) Harry loathes the British press. I wish I could say that his hatred was uncalled for…but even if they left him alone after his mother’s death he’d have enough reason in my estimation. 4) I was surprised at how emotional I felt reading this; at times I laughed out loud and at other times I cried. Good read. 👍👍👍"

katie_harrison_9823 shared a tip "Try this one on audible and listen to Prince Harry tell his story himself. This is a brave attempt at taking control of his narrative which has been written for him most of his life. You can feel the love he has for his country and family and how he longs for things to be different. If you approach this book with an open heart and mind you will get a lot out of it. The ghostwriter is fantastic! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

christie_biggers shared a tip "I know two things. One: I’m American and therefore my thoughts on his controversy are unsolicited and probably pretty ignorant. Two: It was a very well written book."

w_t shared a tip "This is a really great book. He really tells you a kind of person he is. Through his own words, not mainstream media. It isnt whinning. It's his truth."

natalie_5197 shared a tip "He does not hold back on his thoughts and feelings throughout anything. Of course, you’re not going to read about his whole life but his attempt of explaining to us, readers, his role, view, and overwhelming life of the royal family is just amazing and shocking. Definitely recommend!"

gabriela_champion_2501 shared a tip "Good. Didn’t love it. Big part of this book talks about the trauma of losing his mother at a young age and his experience in the military."

reggie_reynolds shared a tip "Reading this now! It is a look into his life as well as the life of Royalty. His likes, dislikes, thinking, desires, right choices, wrong choices are common, but following the way of Royalty is as walking on eggshells. Thank You Prince Harry"

amanda_moore_2467 shared a tip "It felt raw and emotional not glazed over like much of what has been in the press. It seemed more like a plea to his family to see him for a person and be there for him instead of just a person who “quit the company”."

butterpcanrican shared a tip "What a story! I couldn’t stop listening. Beautifully put together, you feel every single emotion Prince Harry wants you to feel. This story needed to be told, so proud of Prince Harry and Megan for being so brave, so authentic. And I must say, his voice and accent were to melt for! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ BRAVO"

eva_ann_peterson shared a tip "Listened to this on Audible, my first audiobook and nearly done with the entire 15 hours. I wouldn’t have listened to it had Prince Harry hadn’t narrated it himself. It’s been a really interesting and well rounded story. I feel like I have a much better understanding of what William and Harry’s lives have been like after Princess Diana’s death. A must read for anyone who felt that loss in 1997."

rebecca_graham_blev shared a tip "I was uncomfortable listening to this audiobook. It was like listening to someone in the middle of a mental breakdown. I hope he finds peace."

justine_rockwell shared a tip "Loved this book! I thought it was more so calling out the British media and how much they’ve been able to get away with. How much they’ve been able to lie and ruin peoples lives. I didn’t find it attacking the royal family at all, it’s more like getting a closer look at just how much their lives are dictated by the British press. #spare"

teresa_verti_4053 shared a tip "While I gave this a thumbs up, I will say it was barely. The Duke of Sussex comes across as overdramatic and spoiled. It is clear that he has many valid problems, despite being born into the royal family. Most likely, there are aspects of his personality that are just so set in stone, he will always be the way he is. It’s hard to explain, because he clearly has a very  philanthropic side, and has done numerous generous deeds, and set up or participated in a variety of wonderful charities. There is something that is just vaguely unlikable at the same time. "

katie_thorne_9131 shared a tip "Interesting read but had to skim a little in the middle when it got very technical about flying a helicopter. I don’t see how he can expect to have a relationship with his brother after writing this boon though."

cassanova_ shared a tip "I loved this book! I think we got the confirmation we needed about the press and how it has a death grip on the royal family. I laughed, swooned, and cried."

stephanie_jarrell shared a tip "Do yourself a favor and read (or listen) to Prince Harry’s book! *Harry narrates the audiobook* But THIS is what dealing with trauma and generational cycle breaking looks like!! There were so many times that I clutched my heart while listening to his story, listening to his desparation and pain. He desperately wants the truth to be told and to be heard (on his terms and not the palace’s). He addresses almost every media story written about him and it is enlightening."

tennicesha_thompson shared a tip "This book is all I expected and surprisingly, more. Being an extremely large fan on English Eminence. Harry gives us a knowledge on his young life into adulthood, and the confusion that people in general might have of him. Having perused “Diana”, Prince Charles (King Charles), and Elizabeth and Margaret.. I’m satisfied for the “Spare”."
