Spare
by Prince Harry
reflective
medium-paced
This would have been a 2 star read if not for my unexplainable curiosity. An individuals carefully curated memoir is not my favorite type of read. To be honest, in my library, read memoirs are a very small percentage.
I was surprised to find that my favorite part of the book was his account of his time in the military and his work with veterans afterward. I'm not fan of war but I feel stories like his, like any soldiers, are important in a world where war is a reality.
I felt he did a good job of being respectful to his family. I'm sure they disagree, but I'm American. What do I know? I got the sense that he felt unloved by his Dad and brother. That broke my heart more than any other sin or betrayal they committed against him. Most acts can be forgiven if there is love.
I'm surprised more royals don't leave the family. Not because life is hard for them. It's not. They have a security in life that most people will never experience, not to mention the lavish lifestyles. But it seems irresponsible to throw children into a public life. There's no consent. I feel the same way about children being thrown into celebrity in America.
Enough of my opinions on the subject. As a book it's okay. If you want to read it for something scandalous, then maybe try something else. He's not trying to break the boat. Just rock it a little.
