Finally read ‘Spare’

Well done! As soon as I saw the thread title my first thought was "Hope she didn't pay for it: !!!!

I am glad I have not read this damn book when it came out, absolutely disgusting (from extracts I have read on the news)

I’m surprised you bothered to read the extracts!
Life is too short IMHO

I haven’t even read the extracts either - I have relied on his wretched interviews and the views of critics which point out the discrepancies and the sheer vitriol.

Must admit that when I saw the thread title, my first reaction was Why?

I downloaded the free sample on to my kindle.

That was quite enough, thanks! 😂

nanna8 yes I reserved it from my library and there was a long list so I only got it two weeks ago. What rubbish! shallow and pathetic

Of course he didn’t write it!
It’s written by the acclaimed
author JR Meohringer

Me too. I’ve no desire to read it. I feel sorry for his family and I’m not even a royalist. I know what it’s like to have a jealous, lying and manipulative sibling and can assure everyone that’s it’s really horribly unpleasant and distressing.

Thank you nanna8 for taking one for the team !

Didn't want to plough through that book so well done nanna8.
Having read it you are qualified to say it's not worth reading but I had guessed that along with many others who haven't actually read it.

Well, that's a few hours of your life you'll never get back, nanna8!

Thank you on behalf of all of us 😀

I second that. A few hours of my life not wasted. A true team player! 😁

Thank you on behalf of all of us 😀

Let’s hope she’s good at speed reading then we needn’t feel so guilty. 😂

No, no. Not even if it is free to borrow.
Spare Us, A Harrody by Bruno Vincent might be a better read!!

I read it straightaway at the time, then gave it to the dog to digest because he likes to chew over Harry & Meghan books!
You can ask me any questions you like, but I can't promise I won't put my own slant on all the whinging and moaning.

Is it free to download on the Kindle yet?

a few hours?. got through it in an hour!

😁
Skim reading?

I haven't read it yet. Shall I bother?
I'm not sure.

I bought it and read it . I thought it gave good insight . I guess for the Harry and Meghan haters will only see more reason to hate . It was well written . Moehringer ( the ghost writer) had a very good article in Vanity Fair about how he was harrassed by British press at his USA home and how frightening an experience it was . People need to quit reading the Daily Mail . Hate sells sadly too well in Britain !

I wasn’t going to pay for it so I waited until the library had it. Glad I didn’t pay for it, having read it. Not a good book and quite delusional ,unfortunately. I was hoping to feel some sympathy for the ‘author’ ( if he actually managed to write it himself ) but no, nada. Self indulgence par excellence. Ah well, sometimes the press are right …

Delusional ? Honestly, he was baring his soul . Daily Mail and The Sun do a good job of promoting lies and hate . You just jumped on that wagon and read through those ugly spectacles . It was worth reading . People here just live for reasons to hate Harry and Meghan. These tabloids made a fortune on that !

What did his brother being circumcised have to do with Harry’s soul ?

Well, it’s a body part as well ! What’s the big deal ? Haters just looking to hate !
