The Amazon reviews are mostly negative:

Quote:
A book about two hypocrites who are self entitled, spoiled, greedy, obsessed with fame.

She claims to be a feminist, yet she is where she is because of the men she married. So she can keep her "empowerment" rubbish to herself.

He could have done so much with his privilege..could have studied hard, but he is a high school drop out and yet he thinks he is qualified to tell others how to live their lives.

They travel on private jets and squats on other people's home. They shouldn't be looked up to.
Quote:
The financially independent multimillionaire couple who stood in Africa, telling the world how tough their own lives were.

Its not possible to add more of a review than that really - it says everything about them in a single sentence.

They also have a known, close, long term relationship with one of the authors, so hardly going to be an objective account. The book extracts in The Times were more than enough to choke on.

A recent quote from the newspapers indicates the close contact they have with one of the authors:

"However, in a judgment released today, he [High Court Judge Mr Justice Warby] said there was evidence that Meghan's side had "briefed the press" about the initial application to stop her friends from being publicly named during the High Court case. Mr Justice Warby said reporter Mr Scobie - who is set to release a biography about the couple next week - tweeted about the application just 58 minutes after they were filed."
