Title: Fussy, self-serving tome spotlights author, not Diana
Product review: With employees like the loopily introspective and self-serving Patrick Jephson, the late Princess Diana needed few enemies. His scornful opinions of his former boss repeat endlessly in this overwrought, judgemental book - despite the fact Diana is shown as faultlessly punctual, dependable for star quality, truly compassionate, always perfectly groomed, and with a wicked sense of humor, she is faulted for any number of things from eating a Cadbury's fruit and nut bar between appearances (evidence of bulimia, for Jephson) and for having "mixed motives" in her charity work.Jephson states early on that he scorns those who keep journals, and his own lack of notes make this stream of conciousness writing very short on facts and anecdotes, and full, instead, of an uninteresting man's self examination. Princess Diana supporters and detractors alike will find little to learn or ponder. Simply a waste of time for all.
