[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read a lot of memoirs and biographies (my favorite genre) and I was really excited about this one after learning it was the same ghostwriter who wrote Andre Agassi’s memoir.  Some of my takeaways:

The opening scene with Harry, his father, and William was a bit cringe, but the book gets much better from there.  I guess what bothers me is how Harry often approaches his brother so openly and then gets treated with derision time after time, but comes back for more.  When he knocked on William’s door to introduce Meghan, I knew that wouldn’t go well at all and I was embarrassed  for him.  William was so dismissive and standoffish to his little brother wanting to share and be open about his life and have a real connection with the people in his family.

The parts about flying an Apache helicopter were fascinating to me and that’s why I read memoirs - the varied life experiences people have and you never know what information is going to pop up.  Same with all of the travel adventures and discovering a new way of seeing the world through his time spent in Africa.

It’s a great memoir - insightful, touching, honest - deals with childhood memories, grief, relationships, work, travel.  I believe the book has been slandered in the press so much because they don’t want people to read it and come away with a different perspective than the media has carefully curated.[/quote]

I agree! I liked the beginning- it shows how the family, his father and brother, has teamed up against him. How hard it is for him to even try. To talk.  For Meghan to talk. Why is no one discussing William?

It was a good book- not at all what people assume from  stupid  out of context leaks that are wrong. I hope he writes another one. [/quote]
