[quote=Anonymous]I just posted about finishing the book today and don't have an overarching opinion but here are some of smaller thoughts:

1. 15 hours is very long for a memoir for 40-something, even a prince.

2.  He has a soft gentle voice.  Too soft and gentle. I found it hard to focus for the first couple hours.

3.  I liked the military scenes because his voice changed and he spoke with passion.  I also thought that the part about killing soldiers was well-contextualized and appropriate for a memoir.

4. The frostnip stuff was TMI and unnecessary.

5. I thought he showed quite a lack of empathy to his brother.  Like, could he really not understand the reaction to the wedding beard?  It's so important to Harry but silly for William to be jealous of the same thing?  There were so many scenes like this scattered throughout the book - Harry's emotions are proper and well contextualized but he failed to allow the other's emotions and humanity.

6. The sections on Meghan seemed the least "new" since they have spent so much time lately discussing those issues.[/quote]
