William and Catherine - Their Story
By Andrew Morton
St Martins Press 2011
Now I don't normally read this stort of stuff, but I have to admit I know next to nothing about Catherine, the new Duchess of Cambridge.
I dont watch TV. I dont read all the gossip although I do read the headlines. So when I spotted this book on the shelf at the library, I thought this would be a good opportunity to learn who they are, how they met and what makes them tick.
This is a coffee table book - not too thick and yet it has LOTS of photos.
I read it in just 4 hours and really enjoyed it. Now I know how they met, how their courtship ran. why he waited so long to propose (giving her the title Waitey Katey in the press - a nasty name IMO). This book also describes their wedding (April 29th, 2011) in great detail, and then ends. A very suitable place to end.
If you want to know the basics about William and Catherine, and their lives, without reading a 500 page dry biography, then this is the book to read.

I liked the Lifetime movie. It was a bit cheesy but did go over how they met and what led up to their marriage. Sounds like a good book.
