The Bodyguard's Story

The Bodyguard's Story: Diana, the Crash, and the Sole Survivor | Moira Johnston, Trevor Rees-Jones

pick

The story of the days leading up to & after the crash which claimed the lives of Princess Diana, Dodi Fayed, & their driver Henri Paul from the only survivor, bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones. Although it's not exactly his story in his words as it is told in third person & the reader hears from others such as Trevor's mother & step-father, & his French lawyer.

OutsmartYourShelf The narrative being set in the third person means that the reader feels quite removed from what is happening. Trevor remains quite a remote figure in the book - I felt as if I got to know more about his mother than him. The reader gets the feeling that he really didn't want to write the book & wanted to move on, but perhaps felt under pressure to & that is understandable. 3.5🌟 as I did learn some things about the incident I wasn't aware of before 13mo
